One reason for the delay between the xparse release and the template release was that we planned to ship with some examples (possibly journal front matter) but we've been hard pressed to find any `spare' time to work on latex this week so decided to let out template as is. With a bit of luck will get some of the example applications (and more to the point, their documentation) in a fit state by next week. > My idea is that templates could be put into files named <type>.td Hmm interesting idea. I am not sure if <type>.fd is quite the right granularity for automatic loading. If there was, say, a template type for `section headings' then this `type' would be commonly known, perhaps (one day) known in the format. However a setup wanting a particular fancy heading layout not obtainable from the existing templates may well want to have a new template (of the same type) and then generate instances of that. So perhaps type+name is more what you would want for automatic loading. (You could of course try both) In either case, automatic loading might have some implications on conventions used for names of types and templates. (Just as it does on font family names, which try to be three letter, to keep the encoding+family fd file name reasonably short.) David
