       Creating a Page Template  was the last headline.

       Simple Expressions   is the next one?  How about:

       Understanding TAL Statements       then
         The Structure of TAL Statements   then
         Expressions                       then
           Path Expressions

       It is virtually impossible to penetrate this text.

       My 2c:

       I have to put in and say that this is not really very useful as an introductory text. It's more like the
       O'Reilly 'in a nutshell' series. It is easy for someone with programming, and particularly templating
       experience, but not for a beginner, which is what it should be aimed at, since it is the core documentation
       for Zope. That said, this manual is still in its formative stages; I'm just agreeing with the need for more
       thorough explanation and partitioning of concepts into sections... Ahh, if only there was time...
