[Zope] Re: Newbie method rendering question -- Squishdot

[Chris Withers]

Doh! Didn't see that bit...

Try:
<dtml-with squish>
 <dtml-var index_html>
</dtml-with>

It might work, after that I'm out of ideas :(

PS: I see you tried the above with <dtml-var "index_html()">, so it probably won't work. My advice
would be to aim to move away from Squishdot unless it does what you want. I think a lot of these
problems are 'cos it's old code and Butch Landingin doesn't seem to have much time to maintain it.
You could try emailing him at squishdot@yahoo.com.
