z3c.template

This package allows you to register templates independently from view code.

In Zope 3, when registering a browser:page both presentation and computation are registered together. Unfortunately the registration tangles presentation and computation so tightly that it is not possible to re-register a different template depending on context. (You can override the whole registration but this is not the main point of this package.)

With z3c.template the registration is split up between the view and the template and allows to differentiate the template based on the skin layer and the view.

In addition this package lays the foundation to differentiate between templates that provide specific presentation templates and generic layout templates.
