Hi
Can anyone tell me exactly how the external_templates file works? I want to use datatool to plot some graphs, and I have the data in a csv file. Just referencing the csv file in ERT (the code is \DTLloaddb{databasename}{filename}) gives the usual problems with relative paths, so I wanted to try to write a copier for it in external_templates. So far my attempts have got me nowhere and I haven't been able to find any documentation for the file.
Also, I would have thought that it would be fairly easy to create a generic entry which simply ensures that a file is copied to temp so that if it is referenced in ERT it will be found. Any comments on this?
