can't use own tempaltes with pdoc

[undertherain]

I'm trying to use my own templates with pdoc,
I'm specifying path to templates (for starters I took existing templates from this repo and modified them slightly)
I specify --template-dir option, but still see the result rendered with default templates

is there any way to, first of all, see if it is trying even to use new templates? If I provide some garbage as template path it still works

I'm using pdoc 0.3.2 on Python 3.6.5, Ubuntu 18.04.1

Even interestingly, that was happening if I use --html option
if I use default text mode, then if I add template path, I'm getting the following error

using mako version '1.0.7'

I have the same issue with the latest pdoc (0.3.2) on Windows 7 and Python 3.7.2
I copied the templates from the pdoc templates folder, then tried different modifications to the css.mako.txt and html_index.mako.txt files, but pdoc won't load the templates regardless if from ~/.config/pdoc, ~/.config/pdoc/templates, or specifying a full or relative path with --template-dir

Possibly related to #11 and #69

Update: should be .mako not .mako.txt

In case this helps with troubleshooting this issue:

I was using Anaconda on Windows 7 with a conda-venv for Python 3.7.2 (base was 2.7.15), so I tried a fresh install of 64-bit Python 3.6.7 from python.org/ and modified my PATH to remove Anaconda. I needed to run pdoc with the absolute path based on #127 (comment). I tried variations of what I thought should work:

$ which python
/c/Users/king.kyle/Python36/python
$ python --version
Python 3.6.7
$ pip install pdoc
$ python C:/Users/king.kyle/Python36/Scripts/pdoc csv --html --overwrite --template-dir templates
$ python C:/Users/king.kyle/Python36/Scripts/pdoc csv --html --overwrite --template-dir C:/Users/king.kyle/templates/

Any thoughts on what might be wrong? Is there any verbose/debugging that can be enabled?

Update: 🤦‍♂️I downloaded the raw files from Github, which added a .txt (*.mako.txt) which is why pdoc couldn't recognize the templates. Anyway removing .txt resolved my issue 😄
