XML 1.0 spec says this: Attribute ::= Name Eq AttValue AttValue ::= '' ([^] | Reference)* '' | ' ([^'] | Reference)* ' In other words, you can use either double quotes or single quotes.

Well, if the XML specification allows for your output, we could consider it not working this way a bug. Why? A missing feature, surely, but why would generating attr=quot; instead of attr='' be considered a bug? However, it would make the code much more complicated, I think (unless we support structure as well in this case).

[Zope3-Users] Literal double quoted string within single quoted attribute in ZPT
Hi. Is there solution for create a single quoted attribute using tal:attributes containing literal double quoted items. I am using a python method for generating the string. I understand structure will unquote but it does not work with an attribute. I see there is a new z3c.tal package based on lxml. Will I have to go as far as customizing tal to do this? I realize this may be best on the zpt list but it it rarely if ever used these days. Many thanks. Regards, David tal:attributes=attribute python:method() attribute='a,b,c,d' instead of: attribute=quote;aquote;,quote;bquote;,quote;cquote; ___ Zope3-users mailing list Zope3-users@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope3-users
