Those are just different ways you can write the same thing in Wisp:

Feeding this

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
process list-file-template (with filename)

process list-file-template
  with filename

process list-file-template : with filename
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

to wisp2lisp gives:

  (process list-file-template (with filename))
  
  (process list-file-template
    (with filename))
  
  (process list-file-template (with filename))
