I believe you should be able to import it and use the example document in the distribution (after you applied the patch also in the distribution and imported it into Zope).
Hurgh? Where di you find all this out? Hwo do you use it when it is installed?
The patching is from the readme in the distribution. The download is/was(?) on http://www.zope.org/Members/lalo/Hiperdom The use of the thing is not quite clear, but there is a help included with it, including syntax help. i think I figured out the example template by myself, but I wouldn't describe that as hard ;-)
On the other hand: I did that, and Hiperdom would neither expand nor display, in both giving some xml Node exception. So in fact I thought it was still under construction. The 'patching' was on win32 and manual, so I probably did something wrong ;-(. However, in a python test setup the module did work (?)
Hmmm....
_I f_ you get it to dance for you, please mail me how you did it. I'd like to get this working as well Rik
