That's not what I meant: within your ZClass (in the Products folder), you 
need to create an index_html method to define the default view for your 
ZClass. Eg.:

-YourProduct
   -YourZClass
      - index_html
      - formEditProperties
      ... other methods

index_html will be mapped to the ZClass View tab in Views.

What I mean is: how can you access the text content of the ZClass from 
within index_html? How to you show the text content? If I use <dtml-var 
raw>, embedded DTML is not interpreted.

No error. I can use <dtml-var raw> in index_html to display the ZClass text 
content. It works, except that embedded DTML is sent as is to the browser.


Thanks.
