[Zope] Saving a Rendered DTML Document

[Jonathan]

if you want to create an html file on the file system (which is a rendered 
version of a dtml method), you could use something like wget 
(http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html).  Give wget the url to the dtml 
method and it will create an html file on the filesystem (which you can then 
access via your php routines). You could even create an external method 
which invokes wget - you could then call this external method from the same 
routine which creates/modifies your dtml method, so that the html file on 
the file system stays in sync with the dtml method.
