Please keep your replies on list, since I'm not the ultimate
authority, and have occasionally even been completely wrong in the
past.

You're getting an error because my untested code didn't entirely
work. It doesn't take into account what happens if the pp variable
isn't defined at all.

The original version of this is at
http://www.zope.org/standard_html_header/view_source , but if you use
<dtml-if pp> instead of what I used before, you should be ok.
