BTW, can anyone suggest a good HTML template module (like
DocumentTemplate, but not tied to Zope)? In particular I want something
that supports iteration (like dtml-in). I could just split
DocumentTemplate off of Zope (I think it's even available as a separate
download), although it might be rather slow in a CGI (although it won't
really matter, since without some kind of persistence CGI is painfully
slow anyway).
