Along the same lines as <!--#var Object fmt="DisplayMethod-->, I propose the ability to do that at definition time instead of when you call the document. Lets say I want a section of Structured text in DTML document I could do the following <!--#format StructuredText--> *Item 1 *Item 2 <!--#/format--> or if I want to plain text (and not have DTML processed) I could do the following <!--#format PlainText--> <!--#var "This line won't be rendered"--> <!--#/format--> Good idea or not? My rationale is as follows. 1. I want to be able to add documents in various formats. The format is fixed at creation time. I don't want to have to tell zope how to render something everytime it is to be rendered. A structured text document is a structured text document. An alternative way of doing this is to have another property of a document specifying how it is to rendered. 2. How do I display DTML syntax in a DTML document?
