[Zope] subpath in dtml?

[Tino Wildenhain]

Hi Jonatan,

just use the traverse_subpath in your Python script as you need
to. Thats pretty fine.
Then output your HTML using a template. If its a page template
you simply call

return context.yourOutputTemplate(context)

or if you want to pass parameters, call is like so:

return context.yourOutputTemplate({'foo':1,'bar':5})

so you can find foo and bar in the options namespace.

DTML call is similar and scould be mentioned in the list archive
several times.

Making nice URLs using traverse_subpath is a good thing (tm) :-)
