It provides variable substitution, conditional blocks, loops, and other programmatic features through custom tags like `<dtml-var>`, `<dtml-if>`, and `<dtml-in>`.\n\nThe package is now primarily maintained for backward compatibility with existing Zope applications. Modern Zope environments have largely moved to TAL (Template Attribute Language) and page templates for new development. It depends on Zope security and object-access infrastructure (AccessControl, Acquisition, RestrictedPython) and integrates with zope.sequencesort for sorting operations. The implementation is pure Python as of version 3.0, with no compiled dependencies.","worth_installing":"Yes, but only if you are maintaining or extending an existing Zope application that uses DTML. Do not install for new projects\u2014use modern templating systems instead. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, and installs with low friction. License treatment is unclear; verify ZPL-2.1 compliance for your use case before deployment."},"id":"documenttemplate","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/documenttemplate","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/documenttemplate.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/documenttemplate/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-25","license_spdx":"ZPL-2.1","license_treatment":"unclear","name":"DocumentTemplate","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Document Templating Markup Language (DTML)"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":136830,"position":11386,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.3"}
