The thing is, I'm designing an application where I won't be adding the content, or even
directly controlling the layout myself;  rather, I need to have a nice forms-based
interface where someone who doesn't know html can use a set of building blocks to
design custom sites.  So maybe it might not be a good idea in general, but it is
exactly what I need here.

In a larger sense, I want to design a set of dtml methods and documents that can then
be used to generate a set of dtml methods and documents.  I think that should be
possible.

Last, how do you create a ZClass?  Any links or help?
If anyone wants to know more in detail what I'm doing, just email me.

Thanks,
