 The value for these path parameters MUST NOT contain any unescaped "generic syntax" characters described by [RFC3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986#section-3): forward slashes (`/`), question marks (`?`), or hashes (`#`).
 
+The path templating is defined by the following [ABNF](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5234) syntax
+
+```abnf
+path-template                  = "/" *( path-segment "/" ) [ path-segment ]
+path-segment                   = 1*( path-literal / template-expression )

+pchar               = unreserved / pct-encoded / sub-delims / ":" / "@"

+
+Here, `pchar`, `unreserved`, `pct-encoded` and `sub-delims` definitions are taken from [RFC 3986](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986). The `path-template` is directly derived from [RFC 3986, section 3.3](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3986#section-3.3).
