It's just basic Python syntax for lists.  In Python, if you have a variable
called list, you get the 2nd element in the list by

    list[1]

(The indexing is zero-based).

In Zope,  with a Zope variable again called list, you can get its 2nd
element using

<dtml-var "list[1]">

In other dtml expression, you refer to the element the same way.
