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

    Zope has two "presentation" facilities: *Zope Page Templates*
    (ZPT) and *Document Template Markup Language* (DTML).  ZPT and
    DTML are similar to one another but they have slight differences
    in scope and audience, which are explained in a succeeding
    section.

       After about a week of reading the Zope Book and listening in on irc.freenode.net#zope , I've discovered that,
       culturally, they're trying to move away from DTML anything and use ZPT. Per
       https://www.philikon.de/wiki/ZopeChannelFAQ :
       --------
       I have problem XYZ with DTML. Help!

       If you are scripting markup such as (X)HTML, use Zope Page Templates (ZPT) instead and slap the person who
       taught you DTML. Read http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/2_6Edition/AppendixC.stx for more
       information.
       --------

       Don't frustrate yourself by learning too much about DTML.
