Description

as far as I can tell, there is only one abbreviation TYPES for types templates. I think it might be useful to have separate templates for abstract and concrete types, e.g. one might want to do the following

@template TYPES = """
                $(TYPEDEF)

                $(DOCSTRING)

                ## Fields
                $(TYPEDFIELDS)
                """

@template ABSTRACTTYPES = """
               $(TYPEDEF)

               $(DOCSTRING)
              """

Research direction

Start by locating the existing TYPES template and the template registration or expansion entry point in DocStringExtensions.jl. Check how templates are tested, then define the expected behavior for separate concrete and abstract type templates and add coverage showing each template is selected appropriately.
