Hi,
I'm trying to create a split heading on all my pages. In plain
HTML, it would look something like this
<h1>Site Name<br />
<span class="tl">Tag line</span></h1>
The purpose of doing this is that I want to control both the
fonts and the spacing of the lines, via a CSS stylesheet (if I
use a <h1><h2> or similar combination, the lines are too far
apart).
So I created a 'master' page template with the following macro:
<h1 metal:define-macro="heading">
<span tal:content="template/sitename">Title</span><br />
<span tal:content="template/tagline" class="tl">Tagline</span>
</h1>
If I test this template, it looks exactly the way I want it. So
I tried to use it in another template as follows:
<h1 metal:use-macro="root/master/macros/heading">Title and
Tagline</h1>
Unfortunately, when I try to test it, I get this not very helpful
message ...
Site Error
An error was encountered while publishing this resource.
Undefined
I've been using Zope for about a month so the traceback
information still looks like gobbledygook to me. I tried the
following variation:
<h1 metal:use-macro="root/master/macros/heading">Title<br />
<span tal:content="root/master/tagline">Tagline</span></h1>
but that still gives the same error. At this point, I don't know
if I'm doing something wrong or if this is something that is not
supported by the current implementation.
Any suggestions or comments will be welcome.
