[Zope] Accessing the parent folder of a DTML document

[Alexander Staubo]

Just refer to the properties directly.

For example, if the parent folder has a property named "BirdSpecies",
your document can refer to it thus:

  <!--#var BirdSpecies-->!

which might evaluate to something like:

  Albatross!

Note that you may refer to the folder specifically, thus:

  <!--#var "PARENTS[0].BirdSpecies"-->!

Or, if the folder's name is Spam:

  <!--#var "Spam.BirdSpecies"-->!

Or:

  <!--#with Spam-->
    <!--#var BirdSpecies-->!
  <!--#/with-->

There are about a hundred other ways, but how's this for starters?

"QED?" said Russell.
"It's Latin," said Morgan. "It means, So there you bastard."
