💅 epgsearchtemplates.conf — the manual page, but make it make sense

okay so bestie, welcome to epgsearchtemplates.conf(5) from EPGSearch Version 2.4.6 ✨ this is the glow-up of the man page, same facts, way better vibes 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

epgsearchtemplates.conf — templates for searches and search timers, aka the saved-idea stash for your searches 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Okay so templates? They literally exist to make your life easier. They simplify the creation of new searches and search timers 🎀 like, you don't have to build every single search from scratch every time, that would be giving unpaid labor.

And where do these little icons live? The templates are saved in this file. That's the whole point of the file. It's the template vault 👑

🧚 SYNTAX 🧚

Not me about to tell you the best part: this file has the same format as the file epgsearch.conf. Same energy, same structure, no cap 💅

So if you wanna know the details about its syntax, go read epgsearch.conf(5). It's all there, iykyk.
