And now there's CMFArticle ( http://www.zope.org/Members/tanghus/CMFArticle ).

 CMF Articles present a way of defining a *Composit or Compound Document*.
 Articles are really folders which contains different article elements.

 Currently these elements are:

 "TextElement" -- Represents a block of structured text.

 "ImageElement" -- Represents an image.

 "TableElement" -- Represents a simple table with variable number of columns 
and rows.

 "LinkElement" -- Represents a simple link meant to render as a *See also:* 
item.

 "GotoElement" -- Very simple elements which makes a "Go to top" link.

 Every element share some common attributes like the 'clear' attribute which 
defines in what way ajoining
 elements should be cleared, and they have some element specific attributes 
like 'rows' and 'columns'
 for table elements.
