Green things... In my experience, objectValues('tagname') is what you're after. It will return a list of all children with the tag name of 'tagnam'. so, to get the paragraphs of the a file called sample_xml containing: <html> <body> <p>Paragraph1</p> <p>Paragraph2</p> </body> </html> you would use: sample_xml[0].objectValues('body')[0].objectValues('p') This is code i have used several times. Of course, if you are working over the body and p tags seperately, you can use: <dtml-in "sample_xml[0].objectValues('body')"> <do things here> <dtml-in "objectValues('p')"> <do paragraph things here> </dtml-in> </dtml-in> Is this the sort of info you were after? Hope I've helped some... On Wed, 01 Mar 2000, you wrote:
Thanks for the reply,
More specifically, I want to output html that does one of two things:
1 - output the first two paragraphs for a summary in a table of contents <html><body> <p>Paragraph 1. <p>Paragraph 2. </body></html>
2 - output all the paragraphs.
In other words I want a DTML method that I can use from the object containing the <p>Paragraph 1.</p> in the XML. So let's say I have a method called paraRender sitting in a folder and a DTML document called viewBody that calls this method by invoking the paraRender method for each paragraph in the document.
I have ha no trouble working with attributes, and even with text content in tags, as long as the tagnames are not duplicated within the same parent object/tag. In other words, since the <block> element object in the below XML contains multiple paragraphs, how do I deal with it?
Thanks, Sean

Quick XMLDocument Question.
A DTD that I am working with has a structure that looks something like this:
<body.content> <block> <p>Paragraph 1.</p> <p>Paragraph 2.</p> <p>Paragraph 3.</p> <p>Paragraph 4.</p> </block> </body.content>
looks simple enough...
I need to be able to use dtml methods to map such paragraphs to html paragraphs > within a dtml document to display the whole document using Zope and XMLDocument > as a kind of server-side style sheet.
erm... could you perhaps explain a little more? I've used XML in a couple of ZOPE projects, and would love to help you... but I am unclear on exactly what you are trying to do...
This should be easy, but I can't find docs to figure it out myself. Anyone got > some quick answers?
Thanks in advance, Sean
