He said "Is there a repository for examples of what you can do with
ZPT's to make a web page look nicely set out?", which can be
interpreted in several ways, including yours, but also in other ways.
"Look" and "nicely" can refer to code, for example.

I don't agree, especially, but John: You can always expand and put up
examples on zopewiki.org.

Yes, maybe I should. 

Any suggestions?

What has ZPT to do with "make a web page look nicely"? ZPT produces HTML.
The produces the HTML that is coming from your programming. If your ZPTs 
produce trash HTML then the pages will be rendered as trash. So it is up to 
you to produce correct HTML that looks somehow. But the implication that 
ZPT is responsible because your site look trashy is just stupid. Fix your 
HTMl, learn about web design, learn to use CSS but please stop your crying 
about things that are just not true or about technologies that you 
obviously don't understand. Maybe you should use some other framework that

[Zope] Why the hell hasn't Page Templates taken over the world?

2005-06-24 Thread John Poltorak

I found the question posed on the subject line whilst searching for 
information about ZPT's on a website called ZopeZen which appears now to 
have expired - I only found the reference in Google's cache.


The question was posed about a year ago and seemed to be correctly 
answered by this post:-


documentation maybe?
Posted by nan at 2004-08-06 03:08 PM

tal / metal / tales has a steep learning curve and the documentation is 
not that good at all ( I think on a printout it is 4 - 6 pages) E.g. the 
tal:on-error (which is extremly usefull) gets only one tiny paragraph.
I think if it had a more comprehensive documentation (with LOTs of 
examples) it would not scare of new users that much as it does right now.


It seems that I'm not the only one who woul like to see more examples of 
ZPTs. Is there a repository for examples of what you can do with ZPT's to 
make a web page look nicely set out?
