The "ObjectManager" method "objectValues" gives you the content
of an ObjectManager (a "Folder" is such a beast).
You can restrict the meta_type for the objects returned.
Please read the embedded online help
(Zope Help --> API Reference --> Object Manager).

With "tal:repeat" or "dtml-in", respectively, you itereate
over a sequence (such as the one returned by "objectValues").
If necessaary, the Zope Book tells you more...
