I think it is a bad idea to have the template file in the code. Every
time you change a coma in your text, you'll need to recompile your program.

A much better solution is to use AWS template parser. You keep the
template separate from your program, and you can parameterize the
content at will. By changing the template, you can even move from Latex
to whatever-is-in-fashion-today without changing your program.
