Evan already answered, but the short story is:

your object needs to have an attribute (it may be a class
attribute and usually is) named "isDocTemp", and this attribute
must evaluate to true. Otherwise, your object is called with no
parameters.

The relevant code is:

        if hasattr(v,'isDocTemp') and v.isDocTemp:
            v=v(None, self)
        else:
            try: v=v()
            except (AttributeError,TypeError): pass

(from DocumentTemplate/DT_Util.py:277)
