 * I have events that need different post layouts for the category they are in. 
   I have read through the entire documentation, but still can’t seem to find a 
   good solution. Is it possible for me to create a custom single.php file and use
   custom placeholders and attributes? What would the name structure be since single-
   event.php is already being used as the custom post type layout? There is no documentation
   for this, so I’m a bit lost.

 * this would be like setting up a category archive page. Can’t remember now if 
   you can have a page per category, but if not you could add PHP within single-
   event.php to deal with this.
 * This is all WP-related more than EM functions. As long as your posts use the_content(),
   EM will take over if your settings tell it to.
