        While it's been mentioned before, it's worth saying again: you
        can nest 'tal:repeat' statements inside each other. Each
        'tal:repeat' statement must have a different repeat variable
        name. Here's an example that shows a math times-table::

          <table border="1">
            <tr tal:repeat="x python:range(1, 13)">
              <div tal:repeat="y python:range(1, 13)"
                   tal:omit-tag="">
                <td tal:content="python:'%d x %d = %d' % (x, y, x*y)">
                  X x Y = Z
                </td>
              </div>
            </tr>
          </table>

           Am I SUPPOSED to see only "X x Y = Z" in a table box?
           I see no times tables and no additional rows.
           what did I do wrong? I saved this code in an html file and uploaded it and saved it in a DTML Doc. Both had
           same result.

           First, read http://www.zope.org/Documentation/ZopeBook/ZPT.stx . Then read your above comment to yourself
           aloud. Then think to yourself, "does DTML have anything whatsoever to do with ZPT?" (Hint: the answer is no).

           /must have/should have/ # nested repeats w the same name are not verboten! (blf)
           but occlusion of outer names by inner names here is in most cases not wanted.
