DTML syntax' not OO? Coming from python trying to learn DTML is very awkward. It seems that there is a different way of doing everything and this has been very frustrating. Is there an underlying theme to the syntax I am not picking up on or was this not a concern for creating the language. The short hand for variables is an example, because it is so different from the long hand method. The python tags are a little better but the documentation on them is a little sketchy. The right editor would be able to use them just as easily as the <DTML> style.
Well, it is OO in the sense that a DTML method is a method of it's folder, and a DTML Document is an object. However, if you have ideas on how it should be, please wander over to the DTMLWiki and give your input: http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/DTMLWiki/FrontPage -- ethan mindlace fremen Zopatista Community Liason
