[Zope] Newbies & variables

Alright.  What does it return?
Based upon this:

 >>>    return special_formats['structured-text'](_[page_body])

It should return the result of calling whatever method is returned by 
getting the 'structured-text' element of the special_formats dictionary 
with page_body as the only argument.  Whew!  Why don't you just do this:

myhome.html:

<dtml-var name="standard_html_header">
<dtml-let page_body="'stuff.stx'">
   <dtml-var name="dtml_wrapper">
</dtml-let>
<dtml-var name="standard_html_footer">

dtml_wrapper:

<dtml-if name="page_body">
   <dtml-if expr="page_body[-4:] == '.stx'">
     <dtml-var name="page_body" fmt="structured-text">
   <dtml-else>
     <dtml-var name="page_body">
   </dtml-if>
<dtml-else>
   <dtml-var name="default_page">
</dtml-if>

Am I making sense, or missing the point?  Alright, I admit it.  I really 
like DTML (though sometimes...)
