## 26. template

    <template
      name = non empty token
      location = anyURI
    />

Add document template named `name`, contained in file `location`, to the dialog box displayed by File → New.

Specifying a `template` element without a location may be used to remove `template` element with the same name from the configuration.

Example:

      <template name="Div (part of a master document)"
                location="template/div.html" />

### Specifying composite document templates

Composite document templates, that is, modular document templates and/or document templates referencing graphics files, must be packaged in a `.zip` archive. Example: `modular_book.zip`:

    $ unzip -v modular_book.zip
    modular_book.xml
    chapter1.xml
    chapter2.xml
    chapter3.xml
    appendix.xml
    images/
    images/xmlmind.gif

The master document, `modular_book.xml` in the above example:

1. Must be directly contained in the archive (that is, not in a subdirectory like `images/`),

2. Must have the same basename, extension not included, as the archive. The basename, less the extension, is "`modular_book`" in the above example.
