Re: [Zope] RE: html2pdf truncating html content
Just a wag (wild assed guess)... in your BODY loop, if d.title is null could you be embedding a 'null' char in the text string, which may cause html2pdf to choke?

Re: [Zope] RE: html2pdf truncating html content
some more wags:
1) remove the html comments from the generated html
code (ie. get rid of the !-- PAGE BREAK -- tags)
2) remove the body loop and hard code in a 1 liner
insteadeg. body +='some new text' and see what happens
3) where are the html and /html
tags added into the html code you pass to html2pdf? (they weren't in the python
code you posted)

Thanks, Jonathan, but no joy. Testing for the value
of of d.title before writing it doesn't change the output and even a hardcoded
body+="text goes here" just inside the for loop doesn't get
printed.

RE: [Zope] RE: html2pdf truncating html content
Found the problem: context was changing. When
called from html2pdf, the parent object was different from when the dtml was
called raw.
