How to achieve the same behaviour than archives or pages in content folder with Pelican?

I would like that in the same way Pelican generates content using pages or articles folder and these is structured as page as file under /pages/ path I would like how to do the same if I want for example have the same behavior with for example other folder called products in order to Pelican generate /products/<file>.hml.

content
   products
       product1.md
       product2.md
   articles
       article1.md
       article2.md
   pages
       about.md
       index.md

It should be easy (I think) to say Pelican that I want to process another folder inside content as it does, but I don't find the way.

Any idea? Maybe some Pelican plugin?

I've seen this answer: Python Pelican: How can I separate content by category? but is not exactly that Ï want because he is talking about subfolders inside pages folder.

Thanks!

After messing with the available options, it seems that the path of least resistance in your scenario would be to set PATH_METADATA in your configuration file. Here is what you can have concretely:

# In pelicanconf.py
PATH_METADATA= '(?P<path_no_ext>.*)\..*'
ARTICLE_URL = '{path_no_ext}.html'
ARTICLE_SAVE_AS = '{path_no_ext}.html'

This will recreate the structure of content inside your output directory like so:

. (output folder)
├── about.html
├── archives.html
├── index.html
├── etc.
├── products
│   └── article-filename.html
│   └── article2-filename.html
├── articles
│   ├── article3-filename.html
│   └── article4-filename.html
├── pages
│   ├── article5-filename.html
│   └── article6-filename.html
