Hi Peter, sorry, I did not explain this clearly: someDTML looks like this: <b>Hello World</b> <dtml-var ZopeTime> Calling <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML"> returns the html_quoted string representation: <b>Hello World</b> <dtml-var ZopeTime> <dtml-with "somePath.someDTML"> <dtml-var foo> </dtml-with> returns <b>Hello World</b> 2005/10/04 17:29:35.199 GMT+2 As far as I remember, the "old" Zope versions did not html_quote the html entities. This is what I need in order to have the old applications run without major "search and replace". Regards, Chris Peter Bengtsson wrote:
No. <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML"> returns a "pointer" to that object called someDTML. Not it's rendered content. <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST)"> does the same as <dtml-with somePath><dtml-var someDTML></dtml-with> (sort of)
There's a big difference between <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST)"> and <dtml-var "somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST)" html_quote>
Either I didn't understand your question or this answers it for you.
