Some suggestions:

Store the summary as metadata in the catalog. Just create a python script named summary like:

return context(context, context.REQUEST)[:200]

When indexing a dtml doc this would render it and return the first 200 characters. A problem with this is that HTML in the documents would screw up the page. You should strip it out.

I created the python script and referenced it as below. What it displays is just the more statement without the summary. <dtml-call "REQUEST.set('mm', ZopeTime().toZone('GMT+1').strftime('%d%m%y'))"> <dtml-in "Zcat_New1_Dtml_doc(mm=id)"> <dtml-if "mm==id"> <dtml-var summary> <a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"> more </a> </dtml-if> </dtml-in> Thanks for the support. ===== Hamzat kamaldeen Ishola Dnet Systems Limited. 223 Ikorodu Road, Lagos.
