    Suppose you have a folder whose id is *Feedbags* that has the title
    "Bob's Fancy Feedbags". Inside the folder
    create a DTML Method with an id of *pricelist*. Then change the
    contents of the DTML Method to the following::

      <dtml-var standard_html_header>

      <h1>Price list for <dtml-var title></h1>

      <p>Hemp Bag $2.50</p>
      <p>Silk Bag $5.00</p>

      <dtml-var standard_html_footer>

       Why are we suddenly using a method? I would think the title insert would happen with either a document or a
       method and the rest of the document appears to be content, therefore use a document.

       Is the difference that a document has a title, even if null and a method never does so it always inherit's
       its container's title? If that is the case, why is a title prompted for in the ZMI?

       Method works on its container (or, rather, its caller(AKA context)). All properties and content in method
       come from its context.
       Document does not care about context - it has its own properties. And it can't access content in a way that
       method can: method sees the content of folder it's called on, and a document is not a folder.
