Re: [Zope-dev] PROPOSAL: html_quote implicit in entity-reference var tag syntax

I propose that:

Can anyone think of a case where you need the entity-reference syntax and wouldn't want html_quote?

I had entirely forgotten that syntax. The only time you would want your text unquoted (in HTML, anyway) is if you're constructing tags or parts of tags, in which case <dtml-var> should be a good substitute. With this change, I might actually *use* &dtml-name; instead of forgetting it.
