Layers and Feature Type Fanout
The KML writer uses KML Folder elements to create a quasi-layer for each user-defined feature type. The name of the folder will correspond to the name of feature type. If Feature Type Fanout is enabled, either a one or two level folder hierarchy will be created, depending on the value of the FANOUT_TYPE directive.
