Hi, I have a page template, that should have the characters "<" and ">" in the resulting HTML code, e.g.:
<input type="hidden", name="xyz", value="<ABC>" />
Zope3 makes a < / &rt; out of the "<>" characters:
<input type="hidden", name="xyz", value="<ABC&rt;"
Is there a way to get around this automatic conversion? I tried it via:
<input .... tal:attributes="value python:'<ABC>'" />
But this makes no difference.
Any clues?
Best Regards, Hermann
P.S.: I know, this seems to make no sense, but the page is a template for another, foreign application, which needs this specific values as placeholders and which I can not adapt...
My memory says and the HTML validator acknowledges it: this *is* broken.
PT is designed to not do that.
Here's how it *might* work:
Take a view that generates the broken HTML snippet, like:
class View:
def code(self): return '<input value="<broken>"/>'
And in your template do:
<div tal:replace="structure view/code"/>
I didn't test it and I'm not sure it works. It might, though.
Yes, many thanks for that, this did the trick! Interestingly, something like this did not work:: def attrcode(self): return '<broken>' <input value="" tal:attributes="value view/attrcode" /> Best Regards, Hermann -- hermann@qwer.tk GPG key ID: 299893C7 (on keyservers) FP: 0124 2584 8809 EF2A DBF9 4902 64B4 D16B 2998 93C7
