[Zope] DTML html_quoting my JavaScript

[Andrew Maclean]

Hi,

I've got myself into a problem with DTML.  The system I've been working on 
uses a lot of JavaScript, which is stored in DTML methods.  After 14 months 
of development, I have been asked to reproduce the installation on another 
machine, where, unlike the original installation, all my <dtml-variables> 
are html_quoted, rendering them useless.

According to the Zope book, <dtml-vars> are always html_quoted.  I know this 
is not the case because for over a year I could successfully store 
JavaScripts in DTML methods.  Then there is no html_unquote function.

I have considered just moving the data.fs file to the new installation but I 
don't want to do that because

1) I want to know why this problem arose

and

2) It's future dated, so I can't pack this database without changing the 
system time to a future date.  (if anyone knows how the date of the data.fs 
can be modified please let me know)

I doubt I'm the first to use DTML to store JavaScript, so if anyone out 
there knows how to stop it systematically wrecking the code, could you 
please please please send me some advise.  Thanks,

Andy Maclean
