It will not work in DTML, but in an external Python Method:

  you take your DTML string (stored in the database)
  and create a document template object from it.
  You then render (call) this object.

  For how, you do all that, you should look at the
  "DocumentTemplate" package in your Zope distribution.
  Most relevant "DT_String.py" and "DT_HTML.py".
