[Zope] basic &dtml syntax question

[Jens Vagelpohl]

jason,

this is called 'entity notation'. the semicolon is a standard part of it.
another example of an item in entity notation would be to replace "<" with
&lt; or the often abused blank space &nbsp;

this entity notation is a general HTML thing, it's not zope-specific.
