DTML Methods


DTML Methods in Zope are a way of presenting information in objects. While they are like objects, DTML Methods are really more of a "view" of information in an object. DTML Methods are like DTML and HTML methods in that they are used to modify and display the properties of the objects they are contained in ("What the Difference Between DTML Method and DTML Documents"). To present this information, DTML Methods use Document Template Markup Language (DTML) with HTML. DTML gives the page designer new tags to insert Zope objects and properties into Web pages, along with sequence control, control flow (if.else constructs) and more active tags for tree displays and sending email. The DTML is rendered when the DTML Method is accessed by a Web browser. Since it is sent to the browser normally, the DTML appears to be a normal Web page to whoever looks at it.
