Page Templates use the Template Attribute Language (TAL). TAL
consists of special tag attributes. For example, a dynamic page
title might look like this::
<title tal:content="here/title">Page Title</title>

This info regarding TAL should have accompanied or preceded the part of Chapter 3 "Coding Logic with
Scripts", where I first came across it in some example code and had no idea what it was.

Where is the keyword "here" defined? Is this just defined for tal expressions only? What does it mean? Why
don't any of the docs explain it?

See Appendix D. here means the object on which the page template will be applied. I know it is kind of
frustrating to read the Appendix first and then the basic chapter.

You should really scrap DTML switch to XSLT. Much more powerful, and a standard to boot.
