OK I waited a couple of days to see if someone else would post the
right way to do this. Not much so I'll offer up how I do it (that is
a warning!)
first start with a couple of imports at the head of your controller:
from genshi import HTML
from genshi.filters import HTMLFormFiller
then as you would with any solution fill in a dict with your data
like::
data = {}
data['dc_date'] = bibItem[dc.date]
data['bib-pages'] = bibItem[bib.pages]
data['dcterms-abstract'] = bibItem[dcterms['abstract']]
data['bib-note'] = bibItem[bib.note]
at the end of the controller finish off with something like:
filler = HTMLFormFiller(data=data)
stream = HTML(render('bibEditForm")) | filler
return stream.render(method='xhtml')
Not sure it's the fastest way to go but ... well works 4 me.
