Hi Michael,
This test
https://gitlab.com/koha-community/Koha/blob/master/t/db_dependent/Letters/TemplateToolkit.t#L602
will show you the exact equivalent of the template ISSUESLIP using the TT
syntax.
You can use both syntax in the same template, but you have to use the
variables that exist. Which means you shouldn't use the TT syntax inside a
<checkedout> loop. I would suggest you to rewrite the whole template using
the TT syntax, it will make it easier to write and more readable.
Regards,
Jonathan
