Ok, it works but maybe it should be made explicit in the documentation. 
Maybe it is in there somewhere, but in that case it is in typical unix-
style (not user friendly): It is in there, but you need to read it 1000 
times to finally notice it. 

Maybe the example could be turned into an example with a subdirectory? I 
really think that is the way most users would use templates.
