Description
Add the ability to set a template for all pages in a given folder. It should also affect subfolders, unless they have their own template.
From discussion here: #4027
Use Cases
This would allow things like the following:
- Enable alerts or announcements for a given section
- Visually differentiate different sections
- Possibly useful for the blog feature?
- Wider customization for different content types (imagine a site with, say, a coding cookbook, a tech blog, and an API reference)
