I can't read the code but didn't want to plonk a new file called<br>
"template.rst" into the directory in case this code is generating an<br>
automatic list of quickstarts that displays somewhere important.<br>
Would this be why you embedded writing instructions into a quickstart<br>
in the first place, rather than having it in its own file?<br>
