[ZPT] Structured Text

[jim at jaydublu.com]

I'm familiar with METAL - but that would mean each content page being
ZPT, or having a ZPT 'wrapper'.



What I'm after is calling a .stx document directly, and the html its'
index_html produces including a ZPT 'template' somewhere.



I can do it using DTML - there's a product which incorporate
standard_html_header and standard_html_footer in the output, but I'm
trying to educate myself to do it the ZPT way.



Jim.
