DocumentTemplate 4.0

Document Templating Markup Language (DTML)

DocumentTemplate

This package implements the original Document Templating Markup Language (DTML). It uses custom SGML tags to implement simple programmatic features, such as variable replacement, conditional logic and loops.

Inside Zope environments page templates and TAL have superseded DTML for most use cases.
