Hi out there :)
How would you do repeating texts or conditional texts like this? I mean, perhaps it's obvious; I haven't played enough with ZPT yet.
Just for your info:
there is one product that tries to address this problem: TERRY http://www.zope.org/Members/lalo/TextTemplates
It is a modified version of TAL that doesn't use XML but a custom syntax:
%(tal:content="here/fgcolor" black)%
I don't now, if this makes things easier, but it would ensure at least the use of TALES and has similar usage.
Yes, TALES seems to be the way to go, unless we opt for a really micro-language dedicated to do only one thing and nothing more. I'm unconvinced I want to explain ZPT with omit-tag etc for someone just writing SQL, for instance, though. Looks worse and is harder to explain even than DTML, which is bad news. Regards, Martijn
