[Zope] Clueless About <dtml-in> and Sequencing.

[Kevin Lewandowski]

You can do this all in index_html.

try something like this:

<dtml-in listEntryID size=25 start=qs>

---display stuff here---

<dtml-if sequence-end>
 <dtml-if previous-sequence-start-number>
  <a href="<dtml-var URL><dtml-var sequence-query>qs=<dtml-var previous-sequence-start-number>">&lt;&lt; Previous</a>
 </dtml-if>
 <dtml-if next-sequence-start-number>
  <a href="<dtml-var URL><dtml-var sequence-query>qs=<dtml-var next-sequence-start-number>">Next &gt;&gt;</a>
 </dtml-if>
</dtml-if>

</dtml-in>
