Re: [Zope] Building multiple documents from fragments(objects).

Hello All,
I have some newbie questions.
I'm an experienced perl programmer trying to learn Zope/Python and am
trying to do something I know must be possible, but am having a hard
time wrapping my brain around this new way of doing things.
[snip]
...
Is there a way that I can do something like this (warning: It's a clunky
mix of perl and dtml):
for my $f ( qw( fragment1 fragment2 fragment3 ) ) {
    <div><h3><dtml-var $f-title</h3>
        <ul>
            <li><dtml-var $f></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
}
I would prefer to do this entirely in dtml if at all possible (I need to
show non-programmers how to do this if I can make it work and they don't
wanna know about Python or Perl stuff).
Failing that, is there a way I can do this generically enough that a
designer could just use a dtml tag and pass the necessary values?
Thanks for your input.
Alan
Assuming they are DTML documents (if not, substitute your fragment
object meta type) here is the DTML:

<dtml-in expr="docs.objectValues('DTML Document')">
    <div><h3><dtml-var name="title_or_id"></h3>
        <ul>
            <li><dtml-var name="sequence-item"></li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</dtml-in>
