This template provides a simple example for constructing a page that uses the StandardLookAndFeel macro. The only retained portion of this template is the content provided to fill-slot="main".

Original Source: 

 <html xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
       xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"
       metal:use-macro="here/StandardLookAndFeel/macros/master">
   <body>
     <div metal:fill-slot="main">
       <p>Welcome to the machine</p>
     </div>
   </body>
 </html>

Expanded Results: 

 <html xmlns:tal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/tal"
       xmlns:metal="http://xml.zope.org/namespaces/metal"
       metal:use-macro="here/StandardLookAndFeel/macros/master">
   <head>
     <title tal:content="here/title">The title</title>
   </head>
   <body bgcolor="#999999">
     <div metal:fill-slot="main">
       <p>Welcome to the machine</p>
     </div>
     <p tal:content="structure here/ZopeAttributionButton"></p>
   </body>
 </html>

Can't get this to work!

Initially: Win2k Zope 2.3.0 & PageTemplates-1.1.1.tar.gz & TAL-1.1.0.tar.gz No ParsedXML? product installed (is this the reason?)

here is a protected word right? here is like self in py modules and context in python scripts. Right?

So I create a PageTemplate in /test with id: "standard_template" and this metal:define-macro="master"> Another PageTemplate to use the master macro with id: index_html "metal:use-macro="here/standard_lookandfeel/master">"

Here's the Traceback I get inside index_html Macro expansion failed Products.PageTemplates.TALES.TALESError?: exceptions.AttributeError? on __getitem__ in ""

Ahh... Got the syntax right finally.

Where standard_lookandfeel is a PageTemplate in the same folder or inherited from a folder "below".

This was tricky. It might be documented and all but it bloody well keep me occupied for some long time.
