   <p class="textbold-three">A Brief History of Zope</p>
-  <p class="text">The beginning of Zope’s story goes something like this, in 1996, Jim Fulton 
-  (CTO of Zope Corporation) was drafted to teach a class on common gateway 
-  interface (CGI) programming, despite not knowing very much about the subject. 
-  CGI programming is a commonly-used web development model that allows 
-  developers to construct dynamic websites. On his way to the class, Jim studied 
-  all the existing documentation on CGI. On the way back, Jim considered what he 
-  didn’t like about traditional, CGI-based programming environments. From these 
-  initial musings, the core of Zope was written while flying back from the CGI 
-  class.</p>
-  <p class="text">Zope Corporation (then known as Digital Creations) went on to release three 
-  open-source software packages to support web publishing: Bobo, Document 
-  Template, and BoboPOS. These packages were written in a language called 
-  Python, and provided a web publishing facility, text templating, and an object 
-  database, respectively. Digital Creations developed a commercial application 
-  server based on their three opensource components. This product was called 
-  Principia. In November of 1998, investor Hadar Pedhazur convinced Digital 
-  Creations to open source Principia. These packages evolved into what are now 
-  the core components of Zope 2.</p>
-  <p class="text">In 2001, the Zope community began working on a component architecture for 
-  Zope, but after several years they ended up with something much more: Zope 3. 
-  While Zope 2 was powerful and popular, Zope 3 was designed to bring web 
-  application development to the next level.</p>
