Hi Paul,

[quote]But how do I create my own Article page that retains that same look and 
feel as the STK Article, but where I can control or override the main content 
via a template script?[/quote]

Find the closest match in the STK templates. In your case this would be 
stkArticle. Create a custom template definition in your own project that 
extends the STK template. By adding an "extends" property in the definition you 
inherit everything from the source configuration (stkArticle) except any 
properties that you specifically define in the custom template definition.

Since you want to inherit the look and feel but want do something different in 
the main area template script, add the "templateScript" property to your custom 
definition. Set its value to your custom script. Something like this:

[code]
+ pages
  + myArticle
    + areas
      + main
        - templateScript=/myModule/pages/myMainArea.ftl
    - extends=/modules/standard-templating-kit/templates/pages/stkArticle
[/code]

Look at the stkLargeArticle and stkNews template definitions. They both extend 
stkArticle but provide something unique as an exception.
