I was wondering if there is some such thing as a HTML Document, ie: one in which no DTML is parsed.
I've noticed that too.
There's a couple of reasons I'm asking:
1. I remember the most confusing thing when I started using Zope was 'what the hell do I select from that add dropdown list to get a web page?' DTMl document/method scared me 'cos I didn't know what they meant. Had there been an HTML document, I would have been a lot more comfortable ;-)
Exactly. There's the option of uploading a file, and setting the content-type to text/html, but that kinda sucks (you can't edit online, can you?). There _should_ be some sort of HTML document, where there's no DTML parsing; I have snippets of HTML in DTML methods that could do well without the parsing. Alternatively, there could be a toggle on DTML Methods / Documents that specifies whether or not you want to parse it.
2. It would provide a 'safer' object for users of a site to add. I'd be much happier to let site users/members create a document if I knew they couldn't put DTML in it and start breaking my site ;-)
Very good point. =)
Thinking about this, it should be dead simple to do as a product, so if people think it's a good idea, I'll go ahead and do it :-)
Sweet. Maybe I'll hack the DTML Methods and Documents.. -Morten
