Feature request: template

Hello,

Thanks for your usefull widget
I have made an upgrade to be able to templatize the output
here the changes I have made in rp-news-ticker-front.php
in the function display_frontend

/**
         * Widget Output Begins
         *----------------------------------------------------*/
        // use a version of the widget template from the theme if it exists
        // otherwise, use the default widget template from the plugin folder
        $fpw_template = locate_template( 'rp_news_ticker_template/rpnt_default.php', false, true );

        foreach($myposts as $post){
            setup_postdata($post);
            if( $fpw_template ) {
               require( $fpw_template );
            } else {
               require( plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ ) . 'rp_news_ticker_template/rpnt_default.php' );
            }
            $in_categories[] = $result;
        }
        $alldata = array();

and here you actual template in the directory of your plugin, file rp_news_ticker_template/rpnt_default.php

<?php
$result = sprintf('<li><span>%s</span><a href="%s">%s</a></li>',
    apply_filters('the_time', get_the_time($options['date_format']), $options['date_format']),
        apply_filters('the_permalink', get_permalink()), stripslashes(the_title('', '', false))
);

here my template in my theme folder, file rp_news_ticker_template/rpnt_default.php

<?php
$result = sprintf('<li>%s</li>',
        stripslashes(the_title('', '', false))
);

thanks again
