It seems as if I am missing quite a bit of documentation. I have
DTML, ZAG, ZCMG, ZDG
(just the archive names) and tried to read about everything that is relevant to "plain" DTML (seems to be limited to DTML, ZCMG).
But then I run into
"Zope Quick Reference"
which is quite massive and all very fine - the problem just is: where is the more elaborate counter-part to this *quick* reference, with all the explanations?
This is because the named Documents mostly describe DTML tags. You could compare this with a manual on JavaScript, just the language (the if statement, how to declare a function, etc.) or Java. At this moment there is very scarce documentation on the objects tat make up the Zope framework. This is being addressed by DC, and the ZQR does a fair job of listing a lost of methods on a lot of objects. For now however, most of us consult the source. Methods that do not start with a _ can be used from DTML. Looking through the source isn't necessarily time consuming. Python is very very readable, it is almost pseudo code.
