Hmm. I don't think so, but then, I don't understand all the features of DocumentTemplate, so I'm not sure. Maybe that will do what I want. I thought that the dtml-var tag was just used to display the value of a variable. Does it do more than that? I assume that by "myDTMLmethod", you mean that is a variable that you have assigned a method to. Is that correct? (I have a C background, so I would call it a pointer to a function.) If that's what you mean, it's not what I was hoping for. Basically, I'm looking for something that works just like the SSI '<!--#include name="filename"-->' tag. When DocumentTemplate encounters it in one DTML file, it will read in the specified file, presumably also containing DTML, and parse it, recursively.
Of course, any DTML method will be parsed when the page is viewed, using its context, not rendered into a static file beforehand.. that's the single biggest plus to using Zope, I think..
Yes, I agree. Since I'm new to Python, I don't understand all the terminology yet. What exactly do you mean by "DTML method"? My apologies if I'm asking so many questions that I seem to be a simpleton. Hopefully I'm not getting on anybody's nerves.
