Read about acquisition, e.g. in 
  <http://www.dieter.handshake.de/pyprojects/zope/book/chap3.html>
maybe, in the Zope Developer Guide.

"__of__" is a method of "Acquirer", inherited by "ZopePageTemplate".

myZPT= myZPT.__of__(context) # wrap it

You can use "text/html" and "text/xml".

When you use "text/xml" "text" must be a well formed XML document
and the "tal/metal" namespaces must be defined.

Thus, you will probably prefer "text/html".
