+The exact situation that you have described is not currently possible, because
+`templatedir` can only have one value. But you can have a very similar practical result
+like this:
+
+* Create `/Users/XXX/config/ikiwiki/underlay/` or something (the name is unimportant,
+  you can use anything)
+* Put your templates in `/Users/XXX/config/ikiwiki/underlay/templates/`
+* Include `/Users/XXX/config/ikiwiki/underlay` in the `underlaydirs` configuration
+  option (the syntax is the same as `add_plugins`)
