[Zope] another tal questions

[Kate Legere]

Is there a TAL equivalent for this DHTML statement:
  <dtml-var sequence-item html_quote newline_to_br> 

I used the python statement:
context.manage_addProduct['OFSP'].manage_addFile(id,
                                         title="", file="description")

to add the file and I want now, within my TAL to read the 'description' 
I tried :

 <b tal:content="item/description"> news </b>  

Thanks 
Kate
