I want to add custom namespaces and/or entities to ZPT. How can I do this? I tried searching the web, but did not find a sollution.
What I want to do is something like this:
<my-ns:email name="Egon Meier" /> or &author; # link to author's mail-address
Interesting. ZPT's implementation doesn't have any way of supporting this, although one or more of the alternate TAL implementations may be more easily extensible. You're essentially trying to make your own mini-language here, and while I won't dispute that this would be useful for you, a generalized version of this capability would take a lot of thought. Your best bet may well be a quick&dirty hack along the lines of inserting regex-based search and replace on your templates before they're compiled. Something along the lines of (WARNING: UNTESTED!): txt = re.sub(r'<my-ns:([A-Za-z]+) ([^>]*)>', r'<tal:my-ns replace="python:ms-ns.\1(\2)" />', txt) txt = re.sub(r'&my-([A-Za-z]]+);', r'<tal:my-ent replace="\1" />', txt) You could patch or monkey-patch a call to your transformation into PageTemplate.py's _cook() method.
