[Zope] TAL: test() or condition Howto?

[Elena Schulz]

Hi Dylan, Ivo, Max and Andre,

I was in the hope that there would be an elegant zpt-way of doing this. So
it seems that I have to do it with python. Hmm, slowly I get quite a bunch
of those tiny little pythons snailing around. Maybe it should be done
generally as a specific test-function for all decisions of this
lazy-evaluation-kind.
Its a pity that there is no easy '|' construct like in path-expressions.

-- thanks for your answers, Elena
