Warning against using nonexistent templates #858

leingang commented 1 year ago

I ran into a problem today where I was browsing the source code for version 3.70 while using 3.69 on my machine. I was using templates that didn't exist and wondering why I was getting no output. Scanning the log file didn't give me any clues that that was the problem.

What about issuing a class warning that gets issued when the user \uses a template that hasn't been \set?

I think a warning would be very inconvenient. Some templates are only defined by certain themes. If there were a warning, one would need to know which themes a user will load later to use them...
