Description Ruediger Landmann 2011-04-18 03:21:52 UTC

Publican has a limited number of document templates for use with the "create --type" option (set, article, book). It would be useful to allow users to specify (and perhaps ship?) extra templates, such as "create --type ieee_test_plan"

To +1 this I would be interested in having a 'man' template included to facilitate faster creation of manual pages in DocBook XML.

Since we support 'man' as an output format, this might be better added to Publican itself?

This bug is about adding template functionality, we won't be supplying any specific templates as part of this bug.

If you can specify what the template would look like (docbook wise) please open a separate bug for it.
