Acronym mixup. DHTML (Dynamic HTML) and DTML (Document Template Markup Language)
have little in common besides that they both are used with HTML. DHTML is
client side (in the browser), DTML server side (in Zope). DHTML is to do
fancy graphics effects, DTML is a reporting language that talks to Zope
(read Python) objects and usually generates HTML.
