The invited_<shortname> template defines the list of individuals who are invited to a meeting. This content appears verbatim in both the GitHub meeting issue (under the Invited heading) and in the Present section of the HackMD minutes document.
File naming

How it maps to the issue
The entire contents of the invited file are substituted for the $INVITEES$ variable in meeting_issue.md and for the $INVITED$ variable in minutes_base_<shortname>. The substitution is a direct string replacement — no parsing or transformation is applied.
See Template Variables for the full variable reference.
