[Zope] Question about the default view of a ZClass named index_html

[Geir Bækholt]

The solution for this annoying bug, is to make your product inherit
from Lalos excellent renderable base class (
http://www.zope.org/Members/lalo/Renderable-ZClass )
, and make a DTMLmethod called "render" containing <dtml-var
index_html>

The cause seems to be in the differentiation between zope/python using
__call__ or __str__ behind the curtains when publishing zclasses..
