There are certainly any number of computational ways to do this. It may be more helpful to consider that this kind of need is why you have both a title and an id property available. I'd think about using title instead... it'll be a far better long-term plan than chasing down corner cases for how id's are converted into title-like strings.

Hi, I have a quick question to someone out there. It seems that there's no easy way to do this (although I'm rather new to zope (~a week), so I could be wrong). What I need to do is take the ID variable of a page in a dtml method call and remove the .html suffix in order to use it as the title of a page.
Here's the content:
<title><!--#var id spacify capitalize--></title>
what it returns for a page call "mission_statement.html" that includes the method as a header is
<title>Mission statement.html</title>
It would be ideal if I could capitalize and strip the .html suffix to give
<title>Mission Statement</title>
Sorry for the primitive question, but how can I do this?
Thanks for your help.
Mike
