Re: Looking for a recipe or configuration for page templates

Added for 2.3.31 -- I'll be using it as well.

Remember that a comma separates different pagename patterns, so 
name=a*,b would apply to pages where the name either starts with A, or 
where the name is exactly "B" (in any group).

If you allow commas in the pagenames like with the SubgroupMarkup 
recipe, you can match the comma with the "?" question mark character.
