I think you misread what Sin Hang Kin was getting at.  Consider:

<dtml-var standard_html_header>
<dtml-var StructuredTextDoc fmt=structured-text>
<dtml-var standard_html_footer>

Yes, you want StructuredTextDoc to be output using html formatting.
But what you *don't* want is to have <html></html> (or header or
body) tags; those are all handled by standard_html_header/footer.

Unless nesting html documents inside html documents is allowed by
the html standards?  And supported "correctly" (for some useful
definition of "correctly") by almost all browsers?
