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

    DTML is similar in function to "HTML-embedded" scripting languages
    such as JSP, PHP, or mod_perl.  It differs from these facilities
    inasmuch as it will not allow you to create "inline" Python
    *statements* (if... then.. else..)  in the way that JSP, mod_perl
    or PHP will allow you to embed a block of their respective
    language's code into an HTML page. DTML does allow you to embed
    Python *expressions* (a == 1) into HTML-like tags.  It provides
    flow control and conditional logic by way of "special" HTML tags.
    It is more similar to Perl's 'HTML::Template' package than it is
    to mod_perl in this way.  It can also be compared to the web
    server facility of Server Side Includes (SSI), but with far more
    features and flexibility.
