[Zope] How to pass a list of 2 values each to dtml

The beauty of a ":list" flag in the value attribute is that Zope will 
return a Python list. So all you got to say is (untested):

<dtml-with urllist>
     <dtml-let url=sequence-item>
         <dtml-call  foo>
     </dtml-let>
</dtml-with>

In foo you can then refer to url.

Another way (but more work) would be:

<dtml-let url1=urllist[0]
               url2=urllist[1]>
     <dtml-call foo>
</dtml-let>

or

<dtml-call "REQUEST('url1', urllist[0])">
<dtml-call "REQUEST('url2', urllist[1])">

But notice that I assume in the last 2 examples that the list has two 
elements. You would have to write some if statements tomake it work right, 
so it wont bail on you, in case you have 1 or no url passed.

Stephan
