You mean within the book? If that's what you mean, I can provide approximate search locations, but I'm reading the book on Safari, so I don't have page numbers. The first occurrence is where the "epp()" function syntax is first mentioned, in chapter 13, section "Using Puppet EPP Templates". On this page, it has two clear examples, one using the "<module>/<file>.epp" form, and the other using the "puppet:///<module>/<file>.epp" form, and the text that describes the required syntax only mentions the latter. The next occurrence is in chapter 14, section "Calling Other Modules", and this example uses the "puppet:///<module>/<file>.epp" syntax. I believe these are the only locations within the book that talk about the syntax of the argument to the "epp()" function. > > IIRC, the implementation of EPP use the same resolution to find a > template as the ERB template support does, so some investigation is > needed to find the real answer.
