Here's what I'm trying to do: in a subdirectory off the current one, called "book", there is a file with the same name as this one, and I want to include it in the current DTML document. Here's what I have so far: <dtml-with book> <dtml-let text="_['URL'].split('/')[-1]"> <dtml-if text> <dtml-var text> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-with> The problem is, <dtml-var text> simply spits out the name of the document, rather than the document contents. (I feel like I've struggled with this before...). Is it possible?
