[Plugin: WP Calendar] php function fse_print_events_list prints the template

great plugin, by far the best calender i’ve implemented to date (in theory) i have tried to use the template function fse_print_events_list() and all it does is reprint the template for each event e.g:

<a href="{event_url}">{event_subject}</a><br />{event_startdate} {event_starttime} - {event_enddate} {event_endtime} @ {event_location}

how can i solve this, below is the php i’m using.

<?php fse_print_events_list(
	array( 'number'   => 5,
	'groupby'   => 'FSE_GROUPBY_DAY'
	)
);?>

i tried also putting in a template option and escaping all parentheses but that resulted in:

<a href="\{event_url\}">\{event_subject\}</a><br />\{event_startdate\} \{event_starttime\} - \{event_enddate\} \{event_endtime\} @ \{event_location\}
