[Zope-dev] Building custom DTML tags and accessing _.<something>

[Morten W. Petersen]

Hia guys,

I was wondering if any of you could give me a couple of hints about how to
make the _.{random,string,range,Datetime} thingies from a tag expression.

I.e. instead of doing this:

	<dtml-widget select options="[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]"
			selected="[1,3,5,7,9,11,13">

This could be done:

	<dtml-widget select options="_.range(1,14,1)"
			selected="_.range(1,14,2)">

Like this (with the DTML var tag):

	<dtml-var "[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10]">

	<dtml-var "_.range(1,11)">

Thanks & cheers,

Morten
