I don't know if this problem has some connection with other threads running now, but I don't understand when the text is html_quoted or not ? I've such a behaviour with Zclass method. If I call it : <dtml-var "myinstance.method"> the text is html_quoted. If I call it : <dtml-with myinstance> <dtml-var method> </dtml-with> the text is not html_quoted and so, there's no problem. I've seen in a previous message : ------<abstract>----------------------------------------- Subject: Re: [Zope] text type Date: Sat, 8 Apr 2000 16:32:01 -0400 (EDT) From: "R. David Murray" <bitz@bitdance.com> In any case, I suspect that <dtml-with Object> <dtml-var property> </dtml-with> will print what you expect. (The quotes required to get Object.property to work change the rules about how an object is interpreted: inside the quotes you are operating in Python rather than DTML). ------</abstract>-------------------------------------- It could be the beginning of an answer. But why Python would html_quote a string and dtml wouldn't ? Is there a solution but playing with <dtml-with> ? Thanks -- Denis Frère P3B : Club Free-Pytho-Linuxien Carolorégien http://www.carolo.net
