It is used in Zope primarily to generate Hypertext Markup +Language (HTML) files, but it can also be used to create other types of +textual information. For example, it is used to generate Structured +Query Language (SQL) commands in Zope SQL Methods. + +The DTML facility is used to convert from document template source text +to rendered text. Document template source text consists of ordinary +text interspersed with DTML's SSI-like (server side includes) "markup" +tags. + +Structured text is text that uses indentation and simple symbology to +indicate the structure of a document. StructuredText format text files +are generally quite readbale by themselves, or they can be converted to +HTML, MML, or other formats using the StructuredText module included in +this package. |
