Apply Template to A Single Folder and it's Contents
I need an Extension that would apply a template to an entire DIRECTORY. Each page that I am converting to templates (as the whole site isn't using templates yet), I would just be importing the Body into the Editable Body Section in my Template. It's usually just text and graphics, no tables.. it all may be in one table, but that's the most.
If I can go do it by hand over and over. There must be a way to automate this. I read somewhere that would be a major pain, because it could mess up the whole directory or whatever. I have just duplicated and backup the directory, so I am willing to take that risk on sample site.
Any help is greatly appreciated (I have about 2,000 pages to convert!)

Dreamweaver "Export Template markup as XML" might be a start...
Found these two tutorials that could help a bit
- ALWAYS (and we mean ALWAYS) have a backup of your site before doing anything of this nature to it. Be safe and be proactive!
- Dreamweaver MX has no way of determining which content goes into which editable region of the new template when applying a new template to a static site.
- Dreamweaver MX cannot apply a template to more than one page at a time, regardless of the method used.
