Sincer5057, this plugin accepts a basic template system. This system works as follows:

1. Create a wiki page calledWikiTemplateConf.
2. Add to that page a text similar to the following:

   {{{template_list= .+, Manual, Listtemplate_file= default.odt, manual.odt, list.odt}}}

3. template_list, regular expresion of wikipagenames.
4. template_file, template file apply to wikipage.
5. Attach to the page the files default.odt, manual.odt, list.odt (or those who have written in the template_file section)

Once this is done, when you export a wiki page, if the page name starts with a name written in the template_list section, the document created uses the template defined in theWikiTemplateConf page.
