It's all written in the source :-)

This is the html_quote method used by dtml (lib/python/DocumenTemplate/html_quote.py)

# split off into its own module for aliasing without circrefs

from cgi import escape from ustr import ustr

def html_quote(v, name='(Unknown name)', md={}): return escape(ustr(v), 1)

Its all written in front of you when you start writing a new python script in Zope: # Example code: # Import a standard function, and get the HTML request and response objects. from Products.PythonScripts.standard import html_quote ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ ^

I think also urllib can help you:

import urllib print urllib.quote('this is a string')

erm. but this is a different thing. html_quoting means put & into -> &, put < into < and so on. url_quote means put " " into %20, ... BTW (hint! hint!) for alle the URL constructors out there: from ZTUtils import make_query query=make_query(foo='bar',blah=[1,2,3]) will build a nice query string to be appendet to URLs. Regards Tino
