Hello

I try to create a latex template

I've no problem with the classic method [ NEW from Template] [Edit  
Templates] but
  with the other method

  [ why  another method ? Only God knows ..]

describes in the help of the bundle.

I create a file in Application Support  > Latex > Templates but iI  
want to use shell variables
  like TM_FULLNAME TM_DATE TM_ORGANIZATION_NAME etc ...

I put  %!TEX style = snippet at the beginning of my file and I' ve no  
problem with the variables
  except with  TM_DATE.

I modify the ruby command "LaTeX Template" . I added inside the next   
line

ENV["TM_DATE"] = `date +%d-%m-%dY`.chomp

but it's not enough. What is wrong with my method?

Sorry if my question is stupid but  I am a beginner with ruby and batch

Best Regards

Alain
