---------------

        If you've done much work with the dtml-in DTML repetition
        statement, you will have encountered batching. Batching is the
        process of chopping up a large list into smaller lists. You
        typically use it to display a small number of items from a
        large list on a web page. Think of how a search engine batches
        its search results. The 'tal:repeat' statement does not
        support batching, but Zope comes with a batching utility. See
        the section, "Batching" later in this chapter.

           yes IF -- but this book seems to try being useful even for people who worked 
           with it already which should not surprise for we are in chapter 9 and there were
           lots of "DTML repetition statements" in previous chapters. So please, if you
           do not know, don't you type it here, go to mom instead
