No. <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML"> returns a "pointer" to that object called someDTML. Not it's rendered content. <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST)"> does the same as <dtml-with somePath><dtml-var someDTML></dtml-with> (sort of) There's a big difference between <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST)"> and <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST)" html_quote> Either I didn't understand your question or this answers it for you. 2005/10/4, Chris <chris-zopemailing@gmx.de>:
Hi,
I hope this is not a FAQ, but I looked for some info to no avail.
If I call a DTML-Method from an other Method (e.g. <dtml-var someDTML>), HTML entities are not converted.
However if I call it from python (e.g. <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML"> the entities are html_quoted.
This changed with Zope 2.7.x (?). Before that DTMLMethods were not quoted when called from python.
I know the easy workaround is to dtml-with to the namespace of the object and call it the zope-way.
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.
Is there a way to patch zope to show the old behavior?
