What a joke !

While DTML syntax is easily understandable by programmers (even if they
don't know python at least they can see where the loops and condition
tests are) despite DTML's double-quoting aspect, I fear that ZPT's one
isn't, at least for me, seeing the example/comparison we have seen today. 

On the other side, ZPT's syntax is maybe more easily readable by HTML
coders than DTML's one, but I'm really in doubt about this.

I too would be glad to know the real advantages of ZPT over DTML.
