[Zope] DTML horror

2000-09-05 Thread Nick Trout



DTML is pretty horrible. Does anyone have any 
solutions to allow DTML methodsto be generated using a more Pythonesque 
interface? It seems to me that DTML is a bit of a shoddy half way house between 
HTML and Python.

Cheers,
Nick.

For someone who's posting HTML mail to a non-HTML list, you're a fine
one to talk ;-)

There are discussion happening in this area on http://dev.zope.org.
Look for "Documents and Templates" or something similar.

You could also just use lots of PythonMethods...

cheers,

Chris

Use Python Methods (http://www.zope.org/Members/4am/PythonMethod) or
External Methods (available in all Zope installations RTFM). They will
probably not completely replace DTML though.

They may be available in all installations but they aren't necessarily
available to all users )-:

Have fun, Murph (who is not actually complaining given the price he has
to pay for use of a public Zope server)
