Looks to me like you are writing dtml-tags in  a PageTemplate-object..

PageTemplates don't use DTML , but TAL and METAL.. You should make
sure that your document is a DTMLmethod or a DTMLdocument if you plan
to use DTML-tags in there...

PageTemplates are in my opinion a much better and cleaner way that
DTML , but some people seem to be of the opinion that DTML is simpler
to learn.. Anyway  - your examples are DTML , so that's obviously what
you want to do for now..

good luck :)
