How to create a page template that's exactly the same as the "default template"

Hello,

I have a child theme set up and I need to create a page template to be applied to a particular page. This template must have the same structure and functions as the rest of the site, obviously.

So naturally I copy/pasted the page.php and loop-page.php files from the Enfold directory to the child directory, gave them new names (page-example.php and loop-example.php), edited the “get_template_part( ‘includes/loop’, ‘example’ );” bit and applied the template to that particular page I wanted.

The result, on the front end, was a page with an extreeeemely different structure from the other regular pages, with lots of extra markup AND that also has a <br> between every element created through the Avia Layout Builder.
The extra markup I can remove, to a certain point, by editing the loop-example.php file but I can’t get around the <br> everywhere destroying the layout.

Also, in the loop-example.php, if I try to remove the div “entry-content”, part of a tag will still show up written on the front end. Like this:
itemprop=”text” >
So I can’t actually remove 100% of the extra markup I wrote about.

Also #2, the code block stops working. It just shows up as a written shortcode on the front end. But that’s a minor annoyance to my problem.

So my question is: how can I create a page template that’s exactly the same as the “default template”?

Thank you
