Fair enough. However, the marker ###ARTICLE_IMAGE### is used in the
example templates which doesn't seem to make any sense if there is no
marker that gets filled by a list of all images. But maybe I
misunderstand what the difference between the numbered markers and the
generic one is.

I don't think this is possible. My articles are definitely found because
my price gets updated from the articles. I haven't tried swapping
anything but image and price but I suppose if out of these two the
price works, that should be proof enough that the articles are found,
right? Or could there be a scenario where the price swapping works but
not the image swapping?
