Well, I guess my problem is actual 2 parts.

The first part is that I don't know how to render a list of news items
in any other layout than the default one (which I adjusted by changing
the root paths and then adjusting the layout/template files).
When I edit the news content element on my generic news page, I see
there is a dropdown labeled "Template Layout", but it's empty.

The second part is that, if I knew how to render what I want (by using
the user interface elements), I still don't know how to express that in
TS.

I hope I made myself a bit clearer now :)

Cheers
Oliver
