I would like to pre-process a DTML file (accessed using HTMLFile) before displaying it in the web browser.
Example Code:
dtml=HTMLFile('manage/mycode', globals())
def cleanUp: # eliminate blank lines and <!-- comments--> from DTML .....
def printDTML(self): return self.cleanUp(dtml)
The problem is that the dtml variable doesn't return the DTML, but the object reference. Is there a way to fetch the raw DTML content from the HTMLFile object?
Have you looked through the HTMLFile code? You'll see that it subclasses from several other base classes. One of these is DocumentTemplate.DT_String.FileMixin, which defines a read_raw method that'll return the current raw sourcecode of the object. Your code becomes: dtml=HTMLFile('manage/mycode', globals()) def cleanUp(source): # eliminate blank lines and <!-- comments--> from DTML ..... def printDTML(self): return self.cleanUp(dtml.read_raw()) -- Martijn Pieters | Software Engineer mailto:mj@digicool.com | Digital Creations http://www.digicool.com/ | Creators of Zope http://www.zope.org/ | ZopeStudio: http://www.zope.org/Products/ZopeStudio -----------------------------------------------------
