Support custom templates per section and categories about zola HOT 4 CLOSED

Sections will use section.html as default template but you can change it by setting the template attribute in a _index.md front-matter.
Do you have an example of what you want to do? I'm not entirely sure I understand

@Keats will posts that belong to a section use the section.html template? Can I have one section.html per section?

I want to have different kind of posts with different [extra] metadata and different layout and styles, so I was wondering I could use different sections for them having different templates for each section.

Pages are separate from sections, you can't automatically apply a template to all pages in a section right now. All the data you put in the front-matter of a _index.md file only applies to the index page of that section. This might change once sorting per section etc is added but not right now.

You can have as many templates as you want, for example the following:

tutorials
|- _index.md  // could have tutorials.html as template for the index
help
|- _index.md // could have help.html as template for the index

All pages will default to page.html as template but you can override it on a case by case basis by setting the template variable in their frontmatter

Got it. Sorted it out this way.
