Hi Michael (and I am really appreciating the help here) The code posted is in a dtml method saved as entries.xml. There is a dtml document index_html which iterates over entries made by users so all can be seen. There is a form (dtml method) by which a user contributed comments. This calls another dtml method (form_action) which calls a python script The script creates a new dtml document for each entry and sets the parameters and content. Then I have a dtml method which is entries.xml which contained the code that is *supposed* to make the whole shebang rss compliant. --- I've noticed in the Zope book that there is a comment : you might want to set the content-type of the response to text/xml which can be done with this DTML code : <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type', 'text/xml')"> I'm not sure if I need to be adding this or, actually, even where.

Once Zope has processed the DTML it'll output valid RSS (or so we hope). That *output* should be fed to a RSS validator.
Ok I give. What am I outputting to in this case? I know I'm being dense here.
If I understand the situation and your confusion correctly, Zope does not seem to be interpreting the DTML code before delivering it to the validator for analysis. Katie, the code that you posted, is it embedded in a DTML document or method, or is it embedded in a File object? - Michael Bernstein
