Hello,

>> <dtml-var "meta_type"> works.

Yes, it display the correct meta type. Thanks.

When I had done some tests, I forgot to set the meta_type field,
and the system was displaying the meta type of the superclass instead.
(which had confused me).

Note:
I am still not very confortable to use the "meta_type" field to get the
class name,
and would rather have prefered to have the real class itself. (python type
function).

Thank you again for your help.

<dtml-var "meta_type"> works. You can also use things like
<dtml-in "objectValues(['DTML Document'])">

hope that helps,
