Re: [Zope-dev] Using """string""" idiom in dtml

2000-06-02 Thread Steve Alexander

Another slightly different idiom is:

  ' * 12""">  

It isn't very SGML-like though.

You've got my vote. Being able to use """ would solve alot of my dtml coding
headaches.

How easy would it be to allow """python strings""" inside DTML tag
attributes?

I'm thinking particularly of situations like:

  ''' * 12">

Currently, you need to mess about with _.chr(34) and string
concatenation.

The triple-quote idiom looks clearer to my eyes.

[Zope-dev] Using """string""" idiom in dtml

2000-06-02 Thread Steve Alexander

How easy would it be to allow """python strings""" inside DTML tag
attributes?

I'm thinking particularly of situations like:

  ''' * 12">

Currently, you need to mess about with _.chr(34) and string
concatenation.

The triple-quote idiom looks clearer to my eyes.
