Description

Hi there,

we are apparently not using that feature too much, that is why we are asking the community about it.

Is it possible that mqttwarn can only load templates from the templates/ folder in current working directory? According to the implementation, it looks like it is - please correct me if I'm wrong.

https://github.com/jpmens/mqttwarn/blob/b8e61e224b3d6cbad6605870d6e518be7f815133/mqttwarn/core.py#L37-L45

Do you think it should be improved?

With kind regards, Andreas.

Research direction
Examine the template loading logic in mqttwarn/core.py lines 37-45 to understand current constraints. Check if there are any existing configuration options for custom template paths. Consider implementing a configuration setting to specify a custom templates directory, or extend the search to multiple directories. Review any related discussions in the issue comments for additional context.
