Not to mention that _['title_or_id'] is equivalent to just title_or_id. However, I agree with you in principle. I've had other, much simpler, cases where I want to html_quote just a part of something.

Hmmm... since they're both part of the Zope Core, does it make a lot of difference where it's done? cheers, Chris :-) ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
[Zope-dev] RFE: Make PythonScripts.standard available from DTML _.standard
This is an RFE for Zope 2.3. I'm posting it here for discussion, rather than in the Collector. In the new PythonScripts product (that is a standard part of Zope 2.3) there is a standard utility module that can be imported into a Python Script with import Products.PythonScripts.standard or from Products.PythonScripts.standard import * It contains useful functions such as those for text formatting (html_quote, url_quote_plus, and so on). It also contains the DTML class for creating temporary chunks of restricted DTML. These functions would be really useful as part of the DTML _ namespace variable. I sometimes find myself wanting to use html_quote in a DTML expression. I'd also be able to use these functions from ZPatterns SkinScript. The PythonScripts product could add these functions to the _ namespace variable at product init time, so there would be no need to change the DocumentTemplate modules. -- Steve Alexander Software Engineer Cat-Box limited http://www.cat-box.net ___ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
