[Zope] Anybody familiar with the <built-in> tag?

[e-Musty]

Thank you Seb.

So you mean, the <built-in function id> literal in my DTML is kinda
substitution of another code that calls the id() /or as you suggested,
getId()/ method, donnu?

And as it is a DTML method for, I suppose that if I "embed it to" (call it
from) various DTML documents, it will replace <built-in function id> with
the name of the caller DTML document. Could it be possible? If it is so,
it's a great feature in Zope.

It's not a tag, but a default representation of a python method.

To see what I mean, try typing 'str' at the python interpreter.

In this case, id is a method.  In some Zope objects, id is a method
(viz. id()) and in others a property.  To get round this, all objects
should uniformly provide a getId() method.  so try getId instead of id
in your code.
