Is there a way to configure own template for a given namespace in Zim?

That would be bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/333204
You are right that the code is there to support templates per
namespace, but the UI to configure them is missing. Maybe you can
describe / photoshop a suggestion how the interface should look, both
for creating & editing templates, and for binding the templates to a
namespace. Having a proposal how to do it exactly usually speeds up
implementing it.

The only thing you can do now is change the template for all pages,
but not per namespace.

Hi Jaap,

Thank you for you prompt reply. Actually I asked more about current status of the implementation, than to push the implementation forward.

I saw in the notebook class code it holds notebook_properties object, and that supports a template for each namespace. What I cannot see, how and if this notebook_properties object is stored in a configuration file. As I'm not a UI designer, I cannot help with any UI suggestion. However I can try to help with the design how to store notebook_properties.

Best regards,
  Waldemar

Thanks Jaap Karssenberg, that solved my question.
