[Zope] rss compliant blog

[Katie Legere]

Hi Michael (and I am really appreciating the help here)

The code posted is in a dtml method saved as entries.xml.

There is a dtml document index_html which iterates over entries made by
users so all can be seen.

There is a form (dtml method) by which a user contributed comments.

This calls another dtml method (form_action) which calls a python script

The script creates a new dtml document for each entry and sets the
parameters and content.

Then I have a dtml method which is entries.xml which contained the code that
is *supposed* to make the whole shebang rss compliant.

---
I've noticed in the Zope book that there is a comment : you might want to
set the content-type of the response to text/xml which can be done with this
DTML code : <dtml-call expr="RESPONSE.setHeader('content-type',
'text/xml')">

I'm not sure if I need to be adding this or, actually, even where.

Kate

If I understand the situation and your confusion correctly, Zope does
not seem to be interpreting the DTML code before delivering it to the
validator for analysis.

Katie, the code that you posted, is it embedded in a DTML document or
method, or is it embedded in a File object?
