Experimenting a bit further, it doesn't appear to be Windows-only. I have a text editor that saves Unix linefeeds (\n) by default. I still get the problem using that. Gerry Kirk Project Manager www.faithonline.com www.dioceseonline.com

Any time a TAL statement extends over multiple lines, I get a syntax error, like this one:

in expression "python:test( no_types == 1\r\n , 'Add New ' + types[0].Title()\r\n , 'Add New Item')"

I see a problem -- those '\r\n' shouldn't be there. Python on Linux, and ZPT, expect all lines to end with '\n'. I'm not sure how these are slipping in, but I suspect that the cause is writing ZPT text using a Windows tool. We can fix this when reading from a file by using the new 'U' mode.
