[plug] Jinja/LaTeX child templates (this time on github instead of attachment)

[Chris Caston]

Sorry for replying to my own post. I noticed something curious. When I
uncommented: template2 = latex_jinja_env.get_template('test2.template') and
run the python3 script again I now get
jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: Unexpected end of template. Jinja
was looking for the following tags: 'endblock'. The innermost block that
needs to be closed is 'block'.

I think we might be very close!
