[Zope] Still Chipping Away At Formulator/ZPT Interface

 OT: I am not very familiar with DTML, but I remember vaguely it is
recommended to use the more explicit syntax: 

  <dtml-var expr="field.render()">

(Well, its only a recommendation.)

 Maybe read the fine python tutorial ;-)

e.g. the equivalent to "<dtml-in> are "for" loops:

 form = context.email_us_formulator
 for fiels in form.fields():
   print '<td>' + field.get_value('title') + '</td>'

 Scott Burton has written an HowTo which may be helpful either:

 It is also linked via the Formulator page on zope.org ... looking up
the resources in the web may even be faster than asking the list ;)
