I've got a DTML document (id = review) with just straight HTML in it like this:

<P>just some text</P>

When I call it using <dtml-var review> it comes out ok, but when I call it from the parent as <dtml-var "_['child'].review">, the Zope returns the HTML code with all of the angle brackets coming back as HTML character entities. What's going on here? I'm using Zope 2.0b6

When say <dtml-var somevar>, you get the result of *executing* somevar, but if you say <dtml-var "somevar"> you will get somevar itself. It's somewhat like using a single-quote in LISP, which gives you a thing literally instead of what it stands for. Here are several ways to get what you want: <dtml-with child><dtml-var review></dtml-with> <dtml-var "child.review(_.None,_)"> <dtml-var "_.render(_,child.review)"> See the DTML guide for explanations.
