A comment to the paragraph below was recently added via http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/AdvDTML.stx#1-5

---------------

  But unfortunately, this is one of those instances where DTML will not do
  what you mean, because the name of the DTML Document that contains this
  DTML is also named *zooName*, and it doesn't use the variable out of the
  request, it uses itself, which causes it call itself and call itself, ad
  infinitum, until you get an "excessive recursion" error.  So instead of
  doing what you really meant, you got an error. This is what confuses
  beginners.  In the next couple sections, we'll show you how to fix this
  example to do what you mean.

     Missing words:

     "causes it call" should be "causes it to call"

     and

     "next couple sections" should be "next couple of sections"

     Hope that helps.
