How can I allow for multiple templates for one node structure?
We have a scenario where our umbraco customer would like to manage a single content node structure, but have it displayed on their website in multiple ways. For example, imagine a content structure with document types like this:
State -> City -> Company
Now imagine the customer wants their website to have pages like this, with each page slightly different, but with similar content:
The customer wants to avoid having to set up separate "investors" and "customers" sections with similar content. They do not want to create "SaksFifthAvenue" twice in the content secion. Instead they want to manage the content with the single content structure described above.
Is it possible to 'switch' templates at runtime or use some other technique to accomplish this?

You can use alternative templates. Tim Geyssens has a great blog post about this: http://www.nibble.be/?p=42.
That's what I'm looking for. Thanks!
