[Zope] dynamic format strings (was: using let and fmt)

[Matt Gregory]

Does anyone know how to dynamically format strings in DTML?  I never got (or
never saw) an answer to this question.  I basically want to pass the fmt
attribute as a string varable dynamically to a method.  The method formats
some 50 strings so I really don't want 50 dtml-if statements (not to mention
ifelse and else statements).

Thanks,
    -Matt
