... For example, the variable string we create in the "properties" tab in the ZMI may have a value of: /devsiteFolder/images/ and be called, "imageDir". This variable is then used to call an image throughout the site using <img src="/<dtml-var imageDir>/imageName.gif">
This would become '<img tal:attributes="src string:${imageDir}/imageName.gif">'.
... I have read and re-read the current documentation and articles relating to "DTMLers learning TAL" and I must say the syntax is what has me most confused. A simple chart with sample TALES and its common functions would be a great help.
A think, there are HowTos and recipies (--> zopelab) for that. For me, careful reading of the TAL and TALES specs has been enough. The Zope Book has a section on PageTemplates. PageTemplates come with examples (--> "examples" subfolder of "Products/PageTemplates). If necessary, come with more specific questions. -- Dieter
