Thanks for your interest in Kile!

I am not sure if I understand you correctly with what you mean by template 
feature as Kile already has one? :-) All the icons in the new-file dialog stand 
for templates actually.

Something that might be interesting for you would be to rewrite the Find-in-
Files functionality (accessible from the edit menu). Currently, it calls 
'grep' but ideally, this should be done without using external tools. Also, 
one should keep bug http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=221734 in mind.

There are no class diagrams available at the moment, but it should be possible 
to generate them by running 'doxygen' on the source files.

Thanks,

Michel
