I made a mistake here (although correcting it doesn't fix my original problem). My DTML should have read: ------------------------list_docs------------------------------ <table> <tr> <th>Id</th> <th>Name</th> <th>Author</th> </tr> <!--#in users--> <!--#with "_.namespace(user=_[_['sequence-item']])"--> <!--#in "_['user'].publish"--> <!-- I think this next line is a serious case of wishful thinking --> <!--#with "_.namespace(doc=getattr(_['user'], _['sequence-item']))"--> <tr> <td><!--#var "_['doc'].id"--></td> <-- show document id --> <td><!--#var "_['doc'].title"--></td> <-- show document title --> <td><!--#var "_['user'].title"--></td> <-- show user name == author --> </tr> <!--#/with--> <!--#/in--> <!--#/with--> <!--#/in--> </table> ------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry for the extra traffic.
