[Zope-dev] DT_Var modifier

[Adrian Hungate]

If I understand what you are asking, this is something I need as well. I am
trying to create an entity_encode and entity_decode modifier (Like the html
encode and html decode modifiers) that will encode (decode) all characters
in the string that are special or illegal in XML.

If there is an easy (Or even not so easy) way of adding this without a nasty
patch (i.e. replacing an entire method in DT_Var) I would love to hear about
it. If there isn't I would like to propose that this be changed (i.e.
added).

Adrian...
