Umbraco 5 - Template for document types

Hello,

I just started and descided to go with Umbraco v5 for my site.

I've created a Master document type, a Home document type and a TextPage document type. As I understand from video's I create a template called Layout that holds the site framework (header/footer etc.)
I then create a subTemplate called Home. I also create a template for TextPage.
Now when I create the content for my Home, it uses the Layout and Home templates. All fine.
But I also have the TextPage document type that contains blocks of texts.

In the content I can add the Home-page and add 2 TextPage-pages.
How do I get the content (layout and content variables) of both textpages to appear in the Home?
Do I use code? Or can it be done easier??

I've tried somethings, but it's very hard without examples.
I came to this:

@foreach (var item in DynamicModel.Descendants)
{
<label for="@item.Name">@item.Name</label> <br/>
<label for="@item.Url">@item.Url</label> <br/>

}

But how do I read the properties from Descendants?
(and what objecttype is Descendants?)

After looking through the forum the rest of the afternoon, this became my solution:
```
        @foreach (var item in DynamicModel.Children)
        {
            <h3>@item.headerText</h3>
            <article>
                @Html.Raw(@item.bodyText)
            </article>
        }
```
So you don't need to create a template for the sub-content, you just rip the fields and it works!
