I created a simple example to demonstrate 
at https://github.com/tdaws/ansible-templated-file-to-var-example.   To try 
it directly, you can git 
clone https://github.com/tdaws/ansible-templated-file-to-var-example && 
run-me.sh
Or you can browse the files directly.  The run-me.sh script just shows what 
command I use to call the test.

Output contains the {{ }} notation instead of the replacement values 
desired:

TASK: [testrole | Test multiline templated var] 
*******************************
ok: [localhost] => {
    "msg": "#testfile.yml\nvar_tests:\n - name: var_from_playbook\n   v: {{ 
var_from_playbook }}\n\n - name: var_from_role\n   v: {{ var_from_role }}"
}
