thanks for the update! As you mentioned, I would recommend making these changes in both templates as well. It's fine to get this change in now, though, if you want to go ahead and get it in. As long as you make exactly the same changes in the templates, there won't be a problem merging updates from the templates. So either way is probably fine.

README.md line 66 at r1 (raw file):

`npm start`

Note: The built extensions will be the `dist` folder. In order for Platform.Bible to run these extensions, you must provide the directory to these built extensions to Platform.Bible via a command-line argument. This command-line argument is already provided in this `package.json`'s `start` script. If you want to start Platform.Bible and use these extensions any other way, you must provide this command-line argument (e.g. `Platform.Bible.exe --extensions ./dist`) or put the `dist` folder into Platform.Bible's [extensions folder](https://github.com/paranext/paranext-core/blob/edce560ccb0de06b6e98707bfb1879b359194ea2/src/extension-host/services/extension.service.ts#L162).

Oh actually, as we noticed, this should actually be --extensionDirs

Please help me understand. Are the 2 templates

• https://github.com/paranext/paranext-multi-extension-template?tab=readme-ov-file#to-run and
• https://github.com/paranext/paranext-extension-template?tab=readme-ov-file#to-run ?
  So are those two readmes kept in sync manually? If yes, is there any chance to improve this?

Yep, those are the two readmes! They are manually synced. Maybe there is a way to improve it, but we haven't thought of something yet. Matt and I are actually planning to discuss this kind of duplication stuff pretty soon. Definitely interested to hear if you have ideas!
