Create a New Document from a Template

[jebaird]

It would be cool if could create a new document from a template that you have saved.

Thanks for the feedback. How would you envision a system like this being used, in detail? It would help me understand the requirements necessary to build such a system.

I think it could work like this

file -> new file from template

pop open a dialog with 2 panes

on the left is is the left of the templates you have created with a button to add a new one

on the right is the preview

create new template editor would be very simple, put the default text and maybe have access to simple variables, like date, time, author, etc

@evanw Yes I need THIS feature. I will pay for it. I can provide an GUI draft which clearify the thing for you. Can you please comment here to tell me if you have interrest on this? I will then create an GUI Draft and an overview for you how it can be implemented. I can also explain in images why we need this.

I look forward to draw an GUI draft of what is needed, tomorrow I try to achieve this.
