There is no HTML Code produced since the view fails with an error.
The template is the same that is used at http://xgm.de

I have two packages:

- IXGM is the one you can see at xgm.de at this moment. It provides a 
template.pt, the contact site, CSS ressources, ... It is also a container. IT 
also defines a IXGMSKin

- IBlog is a new package. It should not know of IXGM and should also be used 
independently. In my case it is contained in IXGM. Of course it should adapt 
the look and feel of IXGM when called with the ++skin++xgm traverser set and 
then it should be rendered with template.pt (what it actually does). And that 
causes the problem:

The line in the template.pt:
<a tal:attributes="href context/@@index.html/@@absolute_url">home</a>
works fine as long as context is an IXGM, because index.html is registered for 
IXGM. But if a view from the IBlog is called is it also rendered in the 
template.pt but context now is a IBlog which does not have an index.html (or 
at leat not the one I want) and therefore fails.

I have uploaded both packages at 
http://xgm.de/staticfiles/skinning-problem.zip.

Thanks for help,
