Hi Michel, My apologies if you've read this already in the zope mailing list but I was hoping for a response from you (maybe I shudda cc'ed you on the original posting?) so I'm forwarding to you a posting I made earlier to the list... michel pelletier <michel@digicool.com> wrote: <snip>
You don't need to fake it, because all DTML objects _can_ be passed arguments.
<dtml-var "aMethod(aMappingObject, aClient, arg1, arg2...)">
'aMappingObject' is a mapping containing the current 'namespace', or the namespace you want this method to use. This is often '_' (the current DTML namespace)
'aClient' is an object you want to provide the namespace for this method. This is often '_.None' (no client object)
They rest are all keyword arguments. This is the most common usage:
<dtml-var "aMethod(_, _.None, bob='uncle')">
Note the double quotes, they are important.

<snip> Are MY EYES deceiving me? I've ALWAYS thought it was: <dtml-var "aMethod(_.None,_, uncle='bob')"> Note the variables, they are very important :) IIRC, I'm pretty sure I got this from either you (Michel) or Kevin Dangoor in this mailing list a long while back. Maybe its time somebody put this more PROMINENTLY in the docs, cuz it sure gets asked a lot, and I think there should be one "official" way of doing this ;^).
