Thanks... but go easy.
I have to choose which features of Zope to learn and use, based on a
much larger criteria than I can present here.
I do not wish to mix ZPT and DTML in my project... I had chosen DTML,
before ZPT was mature... It may be better, but I don't care for now...
when I'm able to re-assess which pieces of Zope to use in a future
project, I may well choose it.
As a professional programmer, you must see the advantage in adhering to
a project's standards and specs, as to managing the code in the
project. That is why I needed to use DTML for my RSS.
I have chosen my mix for this project, and benefit much more from my
standards docs much more than any single feature like ZPT can provide.
As far as I know, DTML is being supported into the future, and my hand
will not be forced.
I appreciate all the hard work in developing ZPT for the community, but
it's just not for me, yet... probably be used in my first Zope 3
project instead.
BTW, the solution presented by Peter hit the nail on the head... I have
a very nice RSS setup now for my Zope app.
Thanks,

Use ZPT, it's much better suited to this...
to include in the feed is a structured-text
paragraph. To use any XHTML in a feed you must "html_quote" all of the
extended characters for it to work.
What do you mean by "extended characters" here?
So I wish to do something like <dtml-var
summary fmt="structured-text" html_quote>
This obviously doesn't work, (would have been cool if it did tho). How
do I access the structured text and html quote translation mechanisms
in an expr tag.
Something like <dtml-var
expr="summary.structured_text().html_quote()">
ZPT does html quoting by default, so provided summary.structured_text()
does what yo uexpect it to, you could just do:
<tal:x replace="summary/structured_text"/>
That said, I'd pretty sure RSS feeds CAN include html, and it doesn't
need to be quoted...
ps- I don't use ZPT, DTML was chose a while
back, and would rather keep
Well, un-choose it, especially for something new and isolated like an
RSS feed...
the RSS in a DTML Method rather than a python
script. The layers are getting pretty hairy, don't want to add
indention to it
Huh?!
