Just curious though. Why is Zope implemented as single line tag statements whereas other web scripting languages such as Java, javascript, PHP3 etc span multiple lines?
The biggest reason is actually that we believe entirely in seperating out logic from presentation, which PHP3/etc do not. THe DTML tags are MARKUP tags for formatting (a'la a reporting language) and should not be used for any more logic than you have to. This should be moved either to a DTML Method, an External Method, or eventually ZClasses/etc. More than a few lines gets very ugly very fast. Chris
