*Conceptually*, in the *general* *case*, it does not make sense for the
convert command to make use of element templates.
By definition, the convert command copies the contents of the element to
be converted. Therefore it simply cannot use the contents of an element
template.

This is currently not possible using command convert. (Otherwise this
would be documented. See
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/commands/convert.html ).
I'm sorry but I don't see any way to implement what you want other than
writing a custom command. No need to develop in Java to solve this
problem. A macro-command should be able to do the job.
