FTP will work; Paul reminds me that the other thing ZPT needs is good XHTML support, which DreamWeaver (apparently) still lacks.
Ah.
FWIW, we originally favored DW as a candidate ZPT editor, and only reluctantly dropped it, after getting less-than-helpful replies from the MacroMedia folks.
Well I have recently realized that DW isn't half that great that i should be. Accually a plain disaster in some configurations.
Are there any tools that excel on XHTML today?
Also will the new XHTML templates work with common browsers? or does it convert to HTML?
XHTML *is* HTML, with stricter rules (e.g., all non-singleton tags must be closed; only HTML4 tags can be used, etc.) and XML namespaces -- ZPT uses the namespaces to attach dynamic behavior to individual notes in the template's DOM. At any rate, the idea is that normal browsers will do fine rendering XHTML, since the "ignore what I don't understand" rule for HTML is how they operate. DW messes up because it steps on the ZPT-namespace attributes when saving the template back to Zope (Amaya strips them altogether).
I done some repackaging attempts with DW and javascript for CMF to night, but it dw doesn't seem to be able to deliver what I expect at some point. (trying to do fake dtml-var includes)
Adobe's GoLive is our current best candidate: it does both XHTML and WebDAV very well.
