Zope knows what types objects are. For example, if you do: <dtml-var "someDateProperty + 5" fmt="%m/%d/%y"> you will get the date five days later than the date stored in the property.

Likewise, if you do: <dtml-var "someDateProperty + 'foo'"> I believe you'll get an error. (not sure what adding a string to a date would mean :)

OK, I am confused. Where did you find these %m/%d/%y things? I am looking in Appendix A of the DTML guide and they aren't mentioned. I am trying to do this: <!--#var when fmt=DayOfWeek--> (substitute any other date thing for DayOfWeek) When I leave off fmt, the date is displayed, but it is ugly and with an unnecessary timezone, so I want to display it as I wish. when, BTW, comes from a gadfly database. When I try to view this, though, I get: Error Type: TypeError Error Value: not all arguments converted What am I doing wrong?

This is a fine question. I often look at the source code when I'm curious about something and can't find docs on that specific topic. The Zope source is very readable.

Ahh. Well, I don't know Python. C, Perl, C++, etc., yes, but no Python.
