+Level 17: force template type
+================================================================================
+
+Since moban version 0.4.0, you can enforce all targets to use one and only one
+template type, regardless of their individual template types.
+
+
+Here is example moban file for copying::
+  
+    configuration:
+      template_dir:
+        - template-sources
+      force_template_type: copy
+    targets:
+      - simple.file.copy: file-in-template-sources-folder.txt
+      - "misc-1-copying/can-create-folder/if-not-exists.txt": file-in-template-sources-folder.txt
+      - "test-dir": dir-for-copying
+      - "test-recursive-dir": dir-for-recusive-copying/**
+
+More information is documented in `misc-1-copying-template`.
+
+
+template copy does:
+
+#. copies any template inside pre-declared template directory to anywhere. moban will create directory if needed.
+#. copies any directory to anywhere. If "**" is followed, moban attempts to do recursive copying.
