Ferhat,

If you are new to Zope do yourself a favor and forget about DTML.  Yeah 
its fun and (seemingly) easy to learn.  But I argue for Page Templates + 
python.  Python is so much clearer than dtml - and Page Templates + 
python *is* the favored zope paradigm.

But if you insist - Casey Duncan wrote a nice product (dtml-eval) and an 
interesting discussion  about DTML and what to watch out for ...
