Hi,
To me this is just a custom view of a folder (even selectable via the a
Display menu) and the key is the method listFolderContents on the context
object.
Just add something like this on you pt:
<tal:content repeat="item context/listFolderContents">
<h1 tal:content="item/Title">
Element title</h1>
<p tal:content="item/Description">Element description</p>
<div tal:content="structure item/Body">Element body</div>
</tal:content>
Cheers,
