Tag templates in custom application

Hi there,

I'm using Arbortext 5.4 M080.

I have a custom application and have created some .tpl tag templates files in my custom/tagtemplates folder.

In the editor when I use Tools -> Tag Templates... to insert my newly added templates I can insert them into my document and all is well. However, when I go and insert the relevant element directly in my document the template is not inserted - just the element as normal.

Does anyone know if I am missing something. Is there some additional configuration I need to do to make this work?

Many Thanks for your help :-)

Johanna
