[Zope] Calling obj. in index_html

[Andy McKay]

In the wonderful world of DTML

<dtml-with ftp>
<dtml-with "ftp">
<dtml-with expr="ftp">
<dtml-with expr="_['ftp']">
<dtml-with expr="_.getitem('ftp')"> etc...

all work for folders.

I know <dtml-var foo> is different from <dtml-var "foo">. But whilst its
always been summarised that one "is python" and one "isnt", the exact
difference I couldn't tell you without hunting through the DT source.

<wild guess> Both <dtml-var foo> and <dtml-var "foo"> both render the string
of foo, its just that the latter doesnt parse the resulting html</wild
guess>, but things are different for <dtml-with> compared to <dtml-var>.

Maybe someone more expert than me would like to jump in...
