Someone may have done a howto on this, but I'm not sure. The basic format is: <dtml-var "amethod(_.None, _, arg1='foo', arg2='bar')"> (The _.None is the target object for the method, and _ is the namespace. You need to include these (most importantly, the namespace) so that the method knows the context that it is being called in and has access to the normal set of variables.)
