Accessing Zope3 standard macros
The standard macros of Zope 3, which render also the default ZMI pages, are accessible under the view-name standard_macros and usually
provide slots title, headers and body. It is good style to provide this slots with your homegrown views as well.
Macros are a way to define a chunk of presentation in one template,
and share it in others. Changes to the macro are immediately reflected
in all of the places, that share it.
