Thanks for the advice. I'd prefer to go with method #1 because that is how
I was previously rendering templates with Zend_View. The echo issue still
remains, however. If I use ${dojo().onLoadCaptureEnd()} then I get random
"1" outputs everywhere because onLoadCaptureEnd() returns true. This is
rather unfortunate because dojo information is rendered all over the place
in Zend. For example,
default.tpl.html
Standard template which should form the skeleton of the view.
add.tpl.html
Uses Zend_Dojo_Form to output a Dojotized form.
menu.tpl.html
Uses dijit.Menu to create a nifty menu.
If I have default.tpl.html which contains content from add.tpl.thml and
menu.tpl.html then I run into a serious issue. Everytime I call
${dojo().onLoadCaptureStart()} or
${dojo().requireModule('some.Dijit.Here')} then Zend will call the
__toString() method of the dojo() view helper because PHPTAL prepends
everything with an echo. This ends up giving me the complete dojo() output
multiple times throughout my template. By the time the template is done
rendering I may have included dojo.xd.js from the AOL CDN five or more
times.
So, while the escape issue is troubling it's not as serious as the problem
I've outlined above. I've spent most of the morning trying to come up with
a solution and have failed miserably.
regards, Kyle

Macros just call PHPTAL code, so you'll get more of the same escaping :)
I've checked source code of this dojo view, and it's quite ignorant about
escaping, as I expected. It doesn't try to escape the content, just hopes
to receive something compatible with whatever can be put in <script> (in
HTML) or CDATA (if xhtml mode is enabled).
With these assumptions if you used </ or ]]> in your source code, it could
break the page. If you used XML without CDATA to capture, the script could
fail, etc. (regardless whether you use PHPTAL or not).
I think your options are:
1. Use capturing, but stay away from characters that have different
meaning in XML/HTML/CDATA/plaintext: < > &
2. Use $dojo->addOnLoad() in PHP code. Give it code escaped
appropriately
for template markup you generate (best bet is to use HTML5 output mode and
only escape </ as <\/)
3. Try <script tal:omit-tag="">/*<
