I am constructing an RSS 2.0 feed for a zope app. I am creating the rss.xml file in a DTML method.
Use ZPT, it's much better suited to this...
to include in the feed is a structured-text paragraph. To use any XHTML in a feed you must "html_quote" all of the extended characters for it to work.
What do you mean by "extended characters" here?
So I wish to do something like <dtml-var summary fmt="structured-text" html_quote>
This obviously doesn't work, (would have been cool if it did tho). How do I access the structured text and html quote translation mechanisms in an expr tag.
Something like <dtml-var expr="summary.structured_text().html_quote()">
ZPT does html quoting by default, so provided summary.structured_text() does what yo uexpect it to, you could just do: <tal:x replace="summary/structured_text"/> That said, I'd pretty sure RSS feeds CAN include html, and it doesn't need to be quoted...
ps- I don't use ZPT, DTML was chose a while back, and would rather keep
Well, un-choose it, especially for something new and isolated like an RSS feed...
the RSS in a DTML Method rather than a python script. The layers are getting pretty hairy, don't want to add indention to it
