[Zope] Easy DTML way for layout.

[Kees de Brabander]

Give each page a property 'pagenumber' containing -you guessed it- its
pagenumber, create a list 'pages' consisting of all your pagenumbers and use
something like:
<dtml-in pages>
  <dtml-if "_['sequence-item'] == pagenumber">
    <b>page <dtml-var pagenumber></b>
  <dtml-else>
    page <dtml-var pagenumber>
  </dtml-if>
</dtml-in>
