---------------

      Notice that a lot of complexity is added to the code just to get
      things out of the *Reptiles* folder. Using the *with* tag you can
      make this example much easier to read::

        <dtml-var standard_html_header>

        <dtml-with Reptiles>

          <dtml-var getReptileInfo>
          <dtml-var reptileHouseMaintainer>

          <dtml-in getReptiles>
            <dtml-var species>
          </dtml-in>

        </dtml-with>

        <dtml-var standard_html_footer>

         Somehow the get()-function is not interpreted correctly. I always get the following error message:
         Error Type: KeyError
         Error Value: getReptiles
         Why??

         It is not a working example. If there were a function called 'getReptileInfo()' and say a string property for
         the Reptiles folder called 'reptileHouseMaintainer' it might work.
