This package contains the DTML and StructruedText facilities from Zope.
|
|
They are also useful independent of Zope for other Python programs.
|
|
|
|
The Zope Document Template Markup Language (DTML) is a facility for
|
|
generating textual information using a template document and application
|
|
information. 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.
