If I'm reading the docs right, I count three different ways
of associating some local styling information with a portion
of a site:
* [[plugins/localstyle]] uses the [[ikiwiki/subpage/LinkingRules]] to find the 'nearest' stylesheet
* [[plugins/edittemplate]] uses a directive with a [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] to indicate which
pages should get which templates
* [[plugins/pagetemplate]] doesn't do a thing for you unless you shoehorn a
`pagetemplate` directive into every affected page.
That last is the one that seems least useful. The [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] approach seems
most flexible.
Would it be a bad thing to allow `pagetemplate` to work the way `edittmplate` does?
Maybe just extend the existing directive? If it has a `pages` parameter, it specifies
the template for the supplied [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]], otherwise it just affects the enclosing page
as it does now?
