[ZPT] Lower case

Wed, 26 Jun 2002 20:45:28 +0200

Hi,

It seems you want to show the content in lowercase.
The preferred way is of course using stylesheets here.
(ZPT is very happy with stylesheets)

<p tal:content="request/somevalue" 
style="text-transform:lowercase">somevalue</p>

If you want to do something not trivial with values in ZPT,
you should consider using python scripts to prepare them beforehand
or use them as callback hooks instead of the raw values.

Regards
Tino
