# Context
My current plan is :
-- thanks to the pagetemplate plugin, `/view/dev/*` and `/view/howto/*` would be assigned two custom templates, containing respectively `\[[template id=dev_direction]]` and `\[[template id=howto_usage]]`
+- thanks to the edittemplate plugin, `/view/dev/*` and `/view/howto/*` would contain respectively `\[[template id=dev_direction]]` and `\[[template id=howto_usage]]`
- `/templates/dev_direction.mdwn` and `/templates/howto_usage.mdwn` would use `\[[!map ...]]` directives to build their views
# My issue
avoid the ad-hoc plugin solution.
(Adding a parameter such as `name=d1` in every `/view/dev/d*.mdwn` and
-`/view/howto/u*.mdwn` page is not an option : there may be quite
-a few, that's why I intend to use the pagetemplate plugin in the first
-place to assign them a common template.)
-
-More or less OT: I've not checked the compatibility of pagetemplate
-and template plugins yet; can a template (`*.tmpl`), assigned by
-pagetemplate, itself call a template (`*.mdwn`) managed by the
-template plugin ? The hooks call order tends to make me think it is
-not possible, which anyway would ruin my current plan.
-
+`/view/howto/u*.mdwn` page is not an option : I want to factorize the
+most possible of these pages.
