    Description

      I was asked in a presentation/mini workshop of STK how all 'categorization' values could be displayed.
      This session was based on pure inplace templating.

      So I saw the need of users, which want to use STK in a pure inplace templating mode, for easy accessing any stored data in the data module.
      They don't want to code Java, and can not look into Java Model/Util classes to see if any method would fit their need.

      In this use case the only need was, for being able to render all defined categorizations.
      So spoken in a more technical matter, a Model Class was missing which delivers the chosen data folder objects into a paragraph template.
      If the content object is deliver to the template, the properties and iterations on the content object/collection can be done freely in the template.

      I could think of a paragraph on which you choose a folder in data module, and the model class just delivers the allChildren collection.
