[Xerte-dev] Re: New modules

[Pat Lockley]

Erm, it depends really

If you wanted to make a new xerte template it works as it used to

If you wanted to use a xerte editor but a different preview / play then
you'd make a different modules/xertenew folder

I can't check in from here - code is at home

new template makes a new folder, and then copies over the folders (media)
and files (data.xml) needed to make the default xerte template. If you
don't need to change this, then duplicate it.
