How can I create a user defined dtml document? What I want to do is to have an option to create 'toms dtml document', this will contain:

<dtml-var standard_html_header> <dtml-var header> <dtml-var header-about>

<!-- Content starts here -->

<!-- Content ends here -->

<dtml-var footer> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>

instead of the standard:

<dtml-var standard_html_header> <h2><dtml-var title_or_id></h2> <p> This is the <dtml-var id> Document. </p> <dtml-var standard_html_footer>

how can I do this? is this possible? It is hard coded in "OFS.DTMLMethod.default_dm_html" and "OFS.DTMLDocument.default_dd_html", respectively.

Of cause, you can change the code.... But, you can also go for a ZClass. Give it an "index_html" method that combines a header, the content and a footer. Let your user only be concerned with the content. Dieter
