A comment to the paragraph below was recently added via http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/DTML.stx#2-104
---------------
DTML is a powerful tool for creating dynamic content. It allows
you to perform fairly complex calculations. In Chapter 8,
"Variables and Advanced DTML", you'll find out about many more
DTML tags, and more powerful ways to use the tags you already have
seen. Despite its power, you should resist the temptation to use
DTML for complex scripting. In Chapter 10, "Advanced Zope
Scripting" you'll find out about how to use Python and Perl for
scripting business logic.

links to Appendis A and Chapter 10?

Why do you always comment that links are needed? At the top and bottom of every page is an "up botton" that
links to the table of contents where the reader may jump to any chapter. Linking to other chapters and
appendices 30 times within each chapter will only make the document more confusing to read, as it would lead
the reader to go through the manual out of sequence.

I agree, links to chapters are mostly useless, however, links to specific sections of certain chapters which
directly expand on the recent content are very useful in my humble opinion. This is especially true for those
who are on their second pass through the documentation, and are wishing merely to refresh their memory on
specific areas in a 'basic to advanced or overview to specific' manner. I only make this comment to further a
personal desire to see more of the latter types of links.

I'll concur on adding links to specific chapters. It is just a personal preference though. Some people might
hate having lots of little links littered all over.

most examples in this page just don't work
thanks to contibutors comments they do after some changes
but this is quite a hard start with zope
