Here's where I got it...apparently I read too much into the phrase "replacing dtml" in the write-up. February 19th Zope News Zope Presentation Templates, by Ethan Fremen Zope Presentation Templates now in an alpha release, have the promise of both replacing dtml and integrating well with wysiwyg tools, like Adobe GoLive. I'm really excited about this project: it should go a long way towards us being able to have real separation of logic, presentation, and data. The basic idea is that attributes in a namespace will control manipulation of nodes in a native XML namespace: the most common example will be XHTML. This means that you'll no longer have a page so saturated with additional tags that you cannot identify the underlying XHTML: instead, you'll have a well formed document that your editor can play nicely with.

I've built a site using Zope that uses a bit of dtml. I would like to begin migrating the code to xml in anticipation of Zope's phasing out of dtml. Would that be premature? If not, any advice on how best to approach it?
Zope is phasing out dtml? Since when? There's lots of work being done on Zope Page Templates but I am pretty sure those aren't going to replace dtml. dtml will be here for a long time. ---------End of Included Message---------- Donald Braman donald.braman@yale.edu
