Hi all, I have an external method that creates different HTML dependent on some variables that are sent to it eg if given the values, content = 'zope is cool' and tagtype='item', the expression <!--#var expr="make_html(content, tagtype)"--> returns <ul> <li>zope is cool </ul> If I change the content to something like 'For the following exercise, use the conferencing system. <!--#var conference-->', tagtype='text' I want the <!--#var conference--> DTML to be left alone by the make_html external method so that Zope can get given it and then do all its good stuff. At the moment, the <!--#var conference--> is just showing up as HTML comments in the output. Do I need to do some major magic at the external method? thanks for any thoughts... tone. ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2
