Heh ;) It's standard now, you should find 'Page Template' in the dropdown list of things you can add in the Zope management interface.

For a bit of an intro:

Ok, now I know what you're talking about. I looked over this stuff some time ago. But to be perfectly honest, I hate XML (I'm sorry, IMO XML is a data structure not programming language) and I (found/ still find) the whole concept to be much more confusing than DTML. ;-) Maybe it's because I don't use WYSIWIG editors (all my PHP is done in vi and I've done all the Zope stuff I've done from within the ZMI).

It's a cool concept, I'll give it that, but I think my brain will explode if I try to now convert some 400 DTML documents over to ZPT. ;-)

I've actually been working with DTML for about 2 years now, but am only now starting to get into making a website I manage "dynamic". Shit, I've got some DTML stuff nested so deep ... eek! ;-) And, I'm just now starting to learn Python.

Thanks again for the suggestion, though.

Well that's furry muff, if you don't want to use it. I don't use it because it plays nicely with HTML editors, though (I don't remember the last time I used one, it was bloody ages ago), I use it because it's got excellent seperation between content and presentation. As for XML not being a programming language... ZPT isn't a programming language, it's a templating language. DTML is, well.... to me, DTML occupies some fuzzy ground in the middle where it's got the templating stuff but it's all mixed up with the programming aspect, and it gets easily confused.
