I am trying to parse xml with libxml2. I have DTML Docs in a Zcatalog that are xml formatted. I am trying to use a python script to display the xmls using the xpath function of libxml2. The problem I am having is that in the Results method I have this. <dtml-var expr="parseXML(legal=getobject(data_record_id_))"> the problem is that when the content of this variable gets sent to my parseXML python script all the xml tags get replaced with the html encoded versions of the tags ( ie. < and > get replaced with < and > ) I'm not calling the html_quote function so I don't understand why it is replacing the tags. Does anyone know of a way to pass this varible as raw data?? TIA! -- Steve Lenti Systems Analyst Do nothing unless you must, and when you must act -- hesitate.
