[ZPT] Zope newbie question on accessing DTML Methods from ZPT

[Troy Farrell]

I'm trying to understand for what you are looking.  I think all you need 
to do is this:

<span tal:replace="here/navigation" />

 From what I understand, you are trying to call a DTML method named 
'navigation' from somewhere in a PageTemplate.

HTH.
