That's not true. Zope send HTML over HTTP to
your client. You can use it with any webbrowser.

I like Quixote, but don't use the forms library
or the template language. I prefere python:

def foo(self, request):
    ret=[]
    ret.append(self.header())
    ret.append( 
      """
        HTML
      """)
    ret.append(self.footer())
    return ''.join(ret)
