Re: [Zope-dev] Rendering of objects in DTML

I would like

<dtml-var content> <dtml-with content>... <dtml-if content>

to call different functions. The first renders the object, the second returns a mapping of the content's attributes/properties, the third checks for "trueness" of the content. Rendering a content could be an expensive operation and I don't want to do it when doing dtml-with and dtml-if.

That kind of implicit weirdage is not something python encourages. <dtml-var content> ...should render <dtml-with "content.properties"> <dtml-if "content.true()"> ...is much better. cheers, Chris
