For SweeTS i needed the possibilty to create a document based on a template file (the normal "New from template" function). gEdit didn't ship with that and so i tried to create it. I was lucky to find a start in the familiar plugin by Rob Miller which i modified. This plugin is completely localized in german and english.

How it works:
* Copy the files of the Template plugin into ~/.gnome2/gedit/plugins
* create a folder "templates" in ~/.gnome2/gedit
* copy your templates files into it (example default.html)
* Start gEdit and enable the plugin "New File From a Template" in the preferences
* After a restart the plugin appears in the File menu
* Assign the typical shortcut "Shift+Ctrl+N" to it
* the new created files will get the mimetype of the template files
