I hope this is not a FAQ, but I looked for some info to no avail.
And my answer to this FAQ, as always, is "use ZPT".
If I call a DTML-Method from an other Method (e.g. <dtml-var someDTML>), HTML entities are not converted.
This is calling and rendering whatever someDTML is...
However if I call it from python (e.g. <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML"> the entities are html_quoted.
This is likely inserting a python repr of whatever somePath.someDTML resolves too...
This changed with Zope 2.7.x (?). Before that DTMLMethods were not quoted when called from python.
Where are you calling one from python?
I know the easy workaround is to dtml-with to the namespace of the object and call it the zope-way.
Huh?
I have a customer with several large applications which run on an old Zope only for the described reason. The applications relay heavily on calling DTML-Methods to include pieces of HTML, JavaScript, etc. Changing the old code would be an enormous effort.
