<dtml-try>
<dtml-if "_.int(variable) = variable">
   Variable is integer
<dtml-else>
   Variable is not integer
</dtml-if>
<dtml-except>
   Variable is not number
</dtml-try>
The 'same_type' function  may be what you are looking for:

<dtml-if "_.same_type(a,[])">
  a is a list
<dtml-elif "_.same_type(a,{})">
  a is a dict
<dtml-elif  etc>

</dtml-if>
