<!--#var is Zope 1.x and will work in Zope 2.x <dtml-var is Zope 2.x and will not work in Zope1.x another difference is that <dtml-var is 1 character longer than <!--#var ----- Original Message ----- From: <Brian.Burton@nlynx.com> To: <zope@zope.org> Sent: Monday, April 10, 2000 4:20 PM Subject: [Zope] What's the difference between <dtml-var and <!--#var Reading the documentation for Zope had me believing that <dtml-var and <!--#var was different. Now reading the postings with the subject Is it Just Me, I don't know if they are different. Will someone please enlighten me to the difference and where you would use one over the other (if they are different). In the documentation (at the beginning of the DTML reference, it states: The DTML Tag is supported by three syntaxes.1 This includes the DTML document templates, server-side includes and Python string formats. When using document templates from Python, the syntax used depends on the document template class used (or subclasses). The server-side-include new DTML syntax described here is used by the classes DocumentTemplate.HTML and DocumentTemplate.HTMLFile. The syntax formats are shown below: <dtml-name> %(name)x <!--#name--> I assumed that the last is the server side include format (although you could not tell by the syntax of the preceding documentation!) Perhaps this document could be fixed a bit for us newbies? _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
