[stringtemplate-interest] File based templates and maps.

[Chie Ng]

Hi, will this change in the future?   Meaning will we be able to use maps 
with file based templates?   Otherwise .stg will become a monolithic 
gigantic file that prevent reusability.  Or am I misunderstanding group 
files?  I have 5+ template files that represent components and 3 main 
template files that represent reports.  These report templates selectively 
load component templates.  If I have to add all files into one .stg and 
someone wants to change the format of a report, they would have to modify 
the .stg which is shared by everyone.  This seems bad to me.  Thanks.

Hi, sorry.  Those maps only work in group file formats (.stg files).
