fix: duplicate password id generated for user.item.html Fix the user_confirm_input macro at the end of html/page.html to modify the id so it doesn't duplicate the one used for the regular password.

Roundup Tracker Templates
=========================

The templates distributed with Roundup are stored in the "share" directory
nominated by Python. On Unix this is typically
``/usr/share/roundup/templates/`` (or ``/usr/local/share...``) and
on Windows this is ``c:\python27\share\roundup\templates\``.

The template loading looks in four places to find the templates:

1. *share* - eg. ``<prefix>/share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This should be the standard place to find them when Roundup is
   installed running setup.py from source.
2. ``install_dir``/../<prefix>/share/....``, where prefix is the
   Python's ``sys.prefix``. ``sys.base_prefix`` or 
   `sys.base_prefix/local``. This finds templates (and locales)
   installed by pip. E.G. in a virtualenv located at (``sys.prefix``):
   ``/tools/roundup``, roundup would be at:
   ``/tools/roundup/lib/python3.6/site-packages/roundup``. The
   templates would be at:
   ``/tools/roundup/lib/python3.6/site-packages/tools/roundup/share/roundup/templates/``.
3. ``<roundup.admin.__file__>/../../share/roundup/templates/*``.
   This will be used if Roundup's run in the distro (aka. source)
   directory.
4. ``<current working dir>/*``.
   This is for when someone unpacks a 3rd-party template.
5. ``<current working dir>``.
   This is for someone who "cd"s to the 3rd-party template dir.

Templates contain:

- modules ``schema.py`` and ``initial_data.py``
- directories ``html``, ``detectors`` and ``extensions``
  (with appropriate contents)
- optional ``config_ini.ini`` file. It is structured like a tracker's
  ``config.ini`` but contains only headers (e.g. ``[main]``) and
  *required* parameters that are different from defaults:
  e.g. ``template_engine = jinja2`` and ``static_files =
  static``. These settings override the default values saved to the
  tracker's ``config.ini``.
- template "marker" file ``TEMPLATE-INFO.txt``, which contains
  the name of the template, a description of the template
  and its intended audience.

An example TEMPLATE-INFO.txt::

 Name: classic
 Description: This is a generic issue tracker that may be used to track bugs,
              feature requests, project issues or any number of other types
              of issues. Most users of Roundup will find that this template
              suits them, with perhaps a few customisations.
 Intended-For: All first-time Roundup users
