---------------
DTML is the "other" Zope facility for the creation of
presentation in Zope. Two kinds of DTML objects are addable
from the Zope Management Interface: *DTML Documents* and *DTML
Methods*. Both kinds of objects allow you to perform
*security-constrained* presentation logic. The code placed into
DTML objects is constrained by Zope's *security policy*, which
means, for the most part, that they are unable to import all but
a set of restricted Python "modules", and they cannot directly
access files on your filesystem. This is actually a "feature",
as it allows site administrators to safely delegate the ability
to create DTML to "untrusted" or "semi-trusted" users. For more
information about Zope's security features, see "Users and
Security":Security.stx.
