[ZPT] Processing instructions in HTML with ZPT

Mon, 29 Oct 2001 11:54:14 -0500

I'm trying to inject <?IMPORT tags in HTML output for some Page Templates. 

Those templates that use this have a property named import_Namespace, which is a 
tokens type.

In my Master macro, I have this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html xmlns:ps xmlns:ts metal:define-macro="master">
<tal:xyz tal:omit-tag=""
         tal:condition="template/import_Namespace | nothing"
         tal:repeat="namespace template/import_Namespace">
<?IMPORT  
   tal:attributes="namespace python:string.split(namespace,':')[0];
                   implementation python:string.split(namespace,':')[1]">
</tal:xyz>

There are two problems:

1. I would like to be able to specify xmlns:ps and xmlns:ts in the HTML header based 
on some code that extracts these values from the import_Namespace property, 
however I couldn't figure out any way to do this with Page Templates. I thought of using 
a PythonScript to create a string "xmlns:ps xmlns:ts" but couldn't figure out any way to 
put that string in the <html> tag.

2. When tal:xyz repeat is processed, the <?IMPORT tag seems to be ignored, I get this 
output:

<html xmlns:ps xmlns:ts>

<?IMPORT  
   tal:attributes="namespace python:string.split(namespace,':')[0];
                   implementation python:string.split(namespace,':')[1]">

<?IMPORT  
   tal:attributes="namespace python:string.split(namespace,':')[0];
                   implementation python:string.split(namespace,':')[1]">

What's the work around for this?
