[Zope] couple of newbie questions on implementing zope

[Maik Jablonski]

hi,

keep the discussion on the list... maybe others can learn something too...

answer to your question:

of course you can use layers. ZOPE don't cares about your "HTML"-coding, 
so you can put all advanced (D)|(X)HTML-features into your sites.

greetings, maik
