I'll second that. ALL our stuff is in many, many DTML docs and methods. I have been looking over ZPT stuff for a while and trying to make sense of it. One thing that really helped in studying for comparison was creating a new Z Search Method. Choose an existing ZSQL method and then choose to have one rendered in ZPT and then another done with DTML and compare the results. It really helps getting a handle on the concept. My problem is that I do lots of little things with dtml-if statements all over a DTML page to get the results I want. I know it should be done in Python but its hard to switch once your mentality is focused one way. I think our next big project will use ZPT as a test. We'll see....depends on the imposed deadline.

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.

All I was saying is that the ZPT stuff seems even more confusing to me than the DTML stuff. - -- George M.
