[Zope] python: calling DTML-methods without quoting

[Peter Bengtsson]

No.
<dtml-var "somePath.someDTML"> returns a "pointer" to that object
called someDTML. Not it's rendered content.
<dtml-var "somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST)"> does the same as <dtml-with
somePath><dtml-var someDTML></dtml-with> (sort of)

There's a big difference between
<dtml-var "somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST)">
and
<dtml-var "somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST)" html_quote>

Either I didn't understand your question or this answers it for you.
