Currently if a user nominates a subdirectory during the installation, the default renaming of template.qmd --> <subdirectory_name>.qmd (cf the rendered template.docx) introduces some ambiguity into the subsequent instructions. I.e., "edit the template file" might be interpreted as an instruction to edit template.docx rather than <subdirectory_name>.qmd.
I can fork and propose an edit to the readme text to account for the behaviour, but just wanted to check in first in case your pref is to alter the behaviour.
