Hello!

I am trying to rewrite some of my CGIs using ZTemplates, no Zope yet. I want to clarify some points I do not understand clear. Any help welcome.

Think I will write a DTML file, and there is the tag <!--#var standard_html_header--> As far as I understand, there is no way for DTML to place standard_html_header into a file - aquiring and rendering IDs is a job of Zope, not ZTemplates, right?

Sort of. Aquisition can be used without Zope. If the object you want to *provide* an attribute inherits ExtensionClass.Base, and the object you want to *acquire* an attribute inherits Acquisition.Implicit, then if you access the acquirer in the context of the acquired you can mimic the behavior.

What method I can use? Do I need to create few instances of DocumentTemplate.HTMLfile and call them with different files/objects? Any simpler way?

Hmm. It seems pretty simple to me. Perhaps if you post a snip of the code you feel is complex we can show you were the trim it, if it needs it. -Michel
