Not sure, what you mean with content...

You access the DTML object (usually) through acquisition via "context":

    context.myDTMLObject

When you are interested in its source, you call its "document_src"
method:

    context.myDTMLObject.document_src()

When you want the rendered result, you call your DTML object:

    context.myDTMLObject(context,context.REQUEST)
