I had hoped to have Beta 1 ready today, but didn't make it. I would now =
like to shoot for end-of-day Monday.
1. HTMLTALParser is now incorporated into ZPT, and mostly works (see =
below).
2. The Product no longer forces you to import Zope or ZODB in order to =
do unit tests, since ZPT has been refactored to separate ZMI from core =
functionality.
3. ZPT now stands for Zope Page Template. A reviewer suggested it, Paul =
and I really like it, and Jim doesn't care, so I went ahead and changed =
it (not in the Wiki yet). As part of the refactoring for #2, I made a =
whole new product, which I'm about to check in as =
Packages/Products/PageTemplates.
Problems I still need help with:
- If use-macro fails, it seems to omit the entire macro except for =
slots, instead of leaving the existing text alone.
- I think we shouldn't be adding slashes to empty tags ('<br>' =3D> '<br =
/>'), and we definitely should not be abbreviating non-empty tags =
('<td></td>' =3D> '<td />').
Cheers,
Evan @ digicool
