[Zope] Reading parameter from DTML

[HT]

Hi Maik,

thanks for your reply.
Yes, it is weird.

Basically I'm fumbling around with DTML document.
The intro inside the Zope Book is just too simple and the API description
doesns't give me good understanding.

As a newbie, I try to understand the concept of object (instead of HTML) in
Zope. But I've found many difficulties due to limited documentation.
Is there anything you can recommend me to get started?

thanks,
Heri
