RE: [Babeldoc-devel] Enable file-based inclusion of Velocity templates?

The separator is the File.pathSeparator or is the other one :)

Just look at the documentation from path separator.  Also take a look at the LoadEnvironment class for how it splits up the path.  Also look at the Classloader in the init module- it does the same to fake the classpath.

Right. Ok, I'll take a second look at it and see if I can come
up with a slightly more robust solution that incorporates all
paths present in the user.dir property, and if it happens to
be empty a fallback to "." (as it is in my simple version now)
could possibly be an acceptable method?

The separator, when multiple values are present, is ":" right?

If this is done, then templates will be found through the
Velocity #include and #parse statements in this order:

1. Relative to each path component of user.dir, in order.
2. Relative to Babeldoc classpath, as it does now.

First match wins, i.e overrides any potential later match.

Reasonable?
