The _.string module can do some powerful things but in your case you could do something like: <dtml-in "getChildNodes()"> <dtml-if "getNodeName()=="SOME TEXT"> print something </dtml-if> </dtml-in> Pavlos

Rowan, Try something like: <dtml-in "getChildNodes()"> <dtml-let ntype="getNodeName()"> <dtml-if "_.string.find(ntype,'BLOCKQUOTE')" > <i>print something</i> </dtml-if> </dtml-let> </dtml-in> btw if your newish to Zope you should get hold of the Zope Quick Reference from http://yyy.zope.org/Members/ZQR.
