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

    The opening tag starts the block and the closing tag ends it. The
    closing tag has the same name as the opening tag with a slash
    preceding it. This is the same convention that HTML and XML use.

       Note however that empty tags such as <dtml-var foobar> would be written as either <dtml-var
       foobar></dtml-var> or <dtml-var foobar/> in XML.
       Note to newbies: an empty tags is a tag that has no *contents*. The "foobar" above is not a content of the
       "dtml-var" tag, but an attribute.
