Quick start sub-modules

The Template Entities module comes with two starter kit sub-modules that provide a quick and convenient way to start using templates with nodes (content) and custom blocks. They have been designed to be applicable to a wide range of use cases and can be used as is or as a starting point for further refinement and customisation.

Both starter sub-modules adhere to the following design guidelines:

1. Content management should be distinct from site configuration and administration.
2. Content editors should not need access to site administration menus.
3. Content templates should be managed and used within the same context as regular content (of all types).
