<dtml-var "_.int(_.round(date2-date1))"> gives you the number of days as a rounded integer. (That is, half days get counted as a whole day).

This is awesome-- I was just struggling with this problem. I wanted to do the exact same thing. One big problem with Zope is that its so easy to do these things, but _so_ hard to figure out the syntax to do it! Here is my contribution. I create a date attribute called targetdate that people modify. I want to have a simple integer on a page showing how many days from _now_ till that 'target date.' Here is my snipped that works: (thanks to the previous posts) <dtml-let now="ZopeTime()"> <dtml-let due="targetdate"> <b><dtml-var "_.int(_.round(due-now))"></b> </dtml-let></dtml-let> -andy diller
