Strange, that was the first thing that I tried, but I thought it hadn't worked. The typing gremlins must have been at work again, or maybe I did it without the quotes, Doh! Still, at least in trying to find what is going on I am learing a bit more about the various forms of : <dtml-var "myList[myIndex]"> <dtml-var "_['myList'][myIndex]"> <dtml-var "_.getitem('myList')[myIndex]"> Now if only I could work out exactly when it was appropriate to use each form.
