Structured Document

A Structured Document will give you a easy-to-use-out-of-the-box-tool to use structured text within ZOPE. Structured text uses indentation and simple symbology to indicate the structure of a document.

Why another one?

The intention of the 'Structured Document'-Product is to create a document-type which has most of the features of a real DTML Document and the same look-and-feel through the management interface. So Structured Document is set up as a subclass of a DTML Document without DTML validating, rendering and 'Proxy'-options. If you ever worked with a DTML Document you should be familiar with a Structured Document.

Features of a Structured Document

A Structured Document has all the features of a DTML Document (without DTML rendering and Proxy-options) and some more: a Structured Document will include and render automagically a standard_html_header and standard_html_footer so there is no more need to wrap another document or method around a structured text in most cases of content production. This will give authors the chance to produce content in a very simple way: they only have to add and edit a Structured Document. No more confusing dtml-code!

When you create a Structured Document, an object called standard_structured_document will be acquired and cloned. So you can create custom templates with pre-configured-properties for your authors in different folders. If no standard_structured_document exists, a simple sample with most options of structured text will be used.

Hint: If you need need CatalogAwareness for the Structured Document, you can use Casey Duncan's DTMLDocumentExtension.
