[ZPT] "template/macros" not available?

[Jan-Wijbrand Kolman]

Hello,


Even after wading through the ZPT mailinglist archives and 
documentation on zope.org, I didn't find a definite answer to the 
following issue.

Obviously, I could be doing someting wrong here, or I could have 
overlooked hints in the docs/archives. Is someone willing to give some 
insight? TIA!


I'm working with PageTemplates for quite some time now, however 
somehow this is the first time I try to do a "use-macro" *within the 
same pagetemplate* the macro is defined in. I.e.:

some_template.zpt:
-------------------------------------------------------
  [snip]
  <metal:block define-macro="reusable">
    <!-- code to reuse in here -->
  </metal:block>
  [snip]
  <metal:block use-macro="path/to/macros/reusable" />
  [snip]


If one would *use* the macro in a *seperate* pagetemplate, the 
"path/to/macros" would be something like:

some_other_template.zpt:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
  [snip]
  <metal:block use-macro="here/some_template.zpt/macros/reusable" />
  [snip]


So, to use it *within the same* pagetemplate I thought to use the 
"template" namespace. I.e.:

some_template.zpt:
--------------------------------------------------------
  [snip]
  <metal:block use-macro="template/macros/reusable" />
  [snip]


This seems not work. However, a "self reference" like...

some_template.zpt:
-----------------------------------------------------
  [snip]
  <metal:block use-macro="here/some_template.zpt/macros/reusable" />
  [snip]


...*does* work.

Is the "macros" atrributes/namespace/whatchamacallit not available in 
the "template" namespace?

Again, it could very well be me doing something stupid here. Anyone a 
suggestion?


regards,
jw
