Because that's all that's covered in ``The Book of Zope''?

I'm still very much on the early stages of learning Zope and Plone, having
only started about a month ago, having built some simple Plone sites, and
perused ``The Zope Book'', ``The Plone Book'', ``The Book of Zope'', ``Zope
Web Application Development and Content Management'', and a couple of
python books (I'm JAPH beginning to learn python).

I have pretty much reached the conclusion that page templates are the only
way to go if one wants to develop methods that play nicely in a Plone
framework as one can use the standard macros to stay within the Plone
layout rather than just doing full web pages.
