I *think* you've stumbled upon the way _.getitem behaves by default: (from the DTML reference) getitem(name,flag) Lookup a name in the namespace. If the value is callable and the flag is true, then the result of calling the value is returned, otherwise the value is returned. flag defaults to false. so "_.getitem(file, 1)" will probably do what you want. But that's also basically the same as <dtml-var file> -- did that not work for you? "Jacques Exelrud" <exelrud@usa.net> writes:
I have in a dtml var the name of a dtml document I want to show as part of another document.
If I do a <dtml-var "_.getitem(file)"> (where file is the said variable) I get the content of that document show but now as html but as text, things like < have been translated to <
Any sugestions ?
