[Zope] Simple DTML-IN question

[Andy McKay]

Part of the problem here is that you cannot loop through a string (which is
what a DTML Document returns). You can split the string and loop through
that or more efficiently create a lines property on an object and loop
through that. Something like:

property: Course, type: lines

<dtml-in Course>
  <dtml-let item=sequence-item>
    <dtml-if "item[7] = '-'">
      ....
    </dtml-if>
 </dtml-let>
</dtml-in>
