By the way: Is it possible to insert special characters in properties,

like ä?

I meant, that properties with special characters in it are not displayed correctly, when called with the shortened syntax &dtml-VARNAME;. Are special characters not allowed in the short syntax?

ä -> &auml; See How-To: Using the DTML entity syntax <snip> The entity notation is an alternate syntax for the <dtml-var> tag. It is available since Zope 2.0. Here is a text snippet from the ZopeDir\doc\CHANGES.txt file for the 2.0.1 distribution (in a slightly adapted form) that explains it all: Zope 2.0 introduces a new HTML DTML syntax that, among other things, allows simple 'var' tags to be entered using the entity-reference syntax, as in: <input name=myVar value="&dtml-myVar;"> The entity reference syntax is mainly intended for use when a var tag is used to insert text into an HTML tag. In these cases, the text needs to be html-quoted. For this reason, use of the entity reference syntax now implies html quoting. For example, the DTML snippet above is equivalent to: <input name=myVar value="<dtml-var myVar html_quote>"> -- o ( Wolfgang.Strobl@gmd.de (+49 2241) 14-2394 /\ * GMD mbH #include _`\ `_<=== Schloss Birlinghoven, <std.disclaimer> __(_)/_(_)___.-._ 53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany ________________
