DTML Documents are used to provide dynamic content. The content is structured into text and properties. Properties can be used to customize the text, and for cataloging purposes. Documents can also reference other objects and properties. Basically DTML Documents are documents. They hold content and are meant to be viewed directly.
DTML Methods are used to display content from other objects, such as folders or application specific objects. They do not have properties of their own, because their purpose is to display other objects2. Basically DTML Methods are templates. You use them to transform object structure into textual information. They may be acquired by object to display them in some way. DTML Methods may also be building blocks for other Methods (or Documents) like standard_html_header.
