Load templates automatically

It is possible to load the templates automatically without copy pasting from the files or manually writing the structure every time you want to author a document.

Vim

You can add the following line into your .vimrc file:

au BufNewFile error-budget-*.md 0r ~/sreworkbook-templates-md/error-budget.md

au BufNewFile slo-*.md 0r ~/sreworkbook-templates-md/slo-document.md

Emacs

You can add the following line into your .emacs file:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda () (when (and (string-prefix-p "slo-" (buffer-name)) (= (point-max) (point-min))) (insert-file-contents "~/sreworkbook-templates-md/slo-document.md"))))

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda () (when (and (string-prefix-p "error-budget-" (buffer-name)) (= (point-max) (point-min))) (insert-file-contents "~/sreworkbook-templates-md/eror-budget.md"))))

In all cases, if you create a file named based on the pattern-*, it will load automatically the predefined template into that file. You can use any naming scheme of your choice.
