Just to clarify: Robert Jean is trying to use my IE Addon. It hooks into the ZMI for PageTemplates and provides a Visual Editor using the Microsoft Richtext Edit Control. In my opinion he has two options: clean up the HTML with TIDY or use a different Object to store the HTML Code and adjust the Edit Control. I would probably choose the later but it depends if needs the TAL Macros.... Regards, Volker Wend -----Original Message----- From: Paul Winkler [mailto:pw_lists@slinkp.com] Sent: Dienstag, 19.

Dennis,
Thanks for your response.
I don't understand what you mean by "use TAL and/or DTML to invoke it". Invoke what?
maybe he meant import the old stuff as a File or a DTML method or some such, then in another ZPT do a <foo tal:replace="structure here/broken_html_thingie" />
The old malformed HTML has to be rendered by TAL, because after being imported, it is modified and contains a few TAL macros.
ah, ok. If it's really necessary to do this on the server side, I'd make an upload form, have its target be an an External Method that does roughly this: - pipe the file data to and from Tidy, probably using os.popen2(). (there's an option for Tidy to create valid XHTML, use that.) - create a ZPT from the cleaned up output. (probably the id to use is one of the parameters passed from your upload form...) But, if you are doing a bunch at once, easier would be to just run Tidy on the filesystem and then upload the results to zope... -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky!
