The example above is used from the normal page templates
like the add.pt in zope.app.browser.container for to 
get the tempalte macro of the Rotterdam skin.
See:
http://cvs.zope.org/Zope3/src/zope/app/browser/container/add.pt?rev=HEAD&con
tent-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

This doesn't work, I get the following error message
in the textarea output if I use:
<html metal:use-macro="container/@@standard_macros/page">
---
<!-- Page Template Diagnostics
 Macro expansion failed
 exceptions.KeyError: 'container'
-->
<html metal:use-macro="container/@@standard_macros/page">
<body>
<div metal:fill-slot="body">
write this in the body slot.
</div>
</body>
</html>
--- 

What's callable global variables of a (ZPTPage) content instance?
Is the implementation the same like in Zope2?
Do we have changes? Or is "here" supported?

I'm confused about what's the different if I use a file
like add.pt and register them with a directive under the name "add.html"
and if I use the source code of the add.pt in a ZPTPage called add.html
