[Zope] Access to DTML Document properties

[Wiebe Kunst]

Thanks for a very fast reply, however it doesn't work. I'm still getting:
Error value: 'string' object has no attribute 'title'.

This is what I'm trying to do:
A DTML document (index_html) has a property art1 which has an ID for another
DTML document as value (type: string). In index_html I use: <!--#var
"_[_[('art1')]]"--> which renders the article. I can of course use
<!--#var title--> in the actual article, but I rather don't. So I'm still
banging my head in the wall after hours of trying to accomplish this. Can it
be a bug with DTML documents??

Best regards Wiebe Kunst
