Description

I would love it if tutorials allowed multiple templates. As of now, we're only allowed a single template per tutorial.

I'd like to achieve a multi-step tutorial in which each step contains a bug in a template. Then it's up to the student to figure out what needs to be fixed before moving to the next step with a different bug.

Research direction

Start by tracing where tutorials define and consume their single template, then determine how separate templates would map to individual steps. Done means a multi-step tutorial can use a different template for each step while preserving the intended progression of bugs for students.
