I've been trying out the snippet.el package which lets you insert templates nicely. But now I have a "big" template (like 100 lines) that I don't want to put inline in my lisp function. Instead, I'd like to have it in a file, and read this file contents into a string. Once in a string, I could use the regular command, snippet-insert, to insert my template. I've found no way to do that (only to insert the file into a buffer, which doesn't solve my problem.) Any tips, ideas? Thanks in advance, Hugo
