A simple question that's been bugging me: Regarding a "FooDocument/BarMethod": How do I reference the content of FooDocument inside BarMethod? At the moment, I'm using <dtml-var "this()"> which seems to call the __str__ method of FooDocument; or <dtml-var "_.getitem(_['id'],1)" where I want to render dtml too. My questions are: 1) is 'this()' intended to be used like this? 2) is there a nicer way of doing the getitem() shenanigans? It seems like a common enough task to warrant a shortcut. I feel I may be being extra dumb here. That's just me thinking aloud. My actual problem, however, is that although content_a/view_1 returns a view of content_a, I'd like to apply in turn a new view to the result, e.g. content_a/view_1/tableise The concept being that content (content_a, content_b) can be rendered in different ways (view_1, view_2) but is always displayed inside a table (tableise). If I do a <dtml-var "_.getitem(_['id'],1)"> in both view_1 and tableise, I get infinite recursion, of course. But I can't think of how else I might do it. Putting <dtml-var "this()"> in tableise makes all the HTML in view_1 render html-safe (< > etc). I was tableise to display view_1's HTML but not render its DTML. Any idea, anyone? Thanks, seb
