What prevents you, to render the body? This should handle
DTML expansion, at least for simple cases.

def wrap(self,what):
REQUEST= self.REQUEST
return self.standard_html_header(self,REQUEST) \
   + what(self,REQUEST) \
   + self.standard_html_footer(self,REQUEST)

This will break, if one of the DTML objects needs arguments
not present in the current REQUEST.

[Zope] Evaluating a string of DTML code?

2000-08-02 Thread T.J. Mannos

Hi,

I have an ExternalMethod that processes an HTML file, extracts the contents
of the BODY tag, and wraps my site template around it.  (In other words, it
takes a plain vanilla HTML file and adds standard_html_header and
standard_html_footer).

[See http://www.zope.org/Members/unfo/howto_wrapper/index_html for more
background]

The problem is this: I can't have arbitrary DTML code in the HTML file.
Zope completely ignores it.  I tried fmt=structured-text, but that doesn't
work, either.  Since the file is essentially read in as a string, is there
any way to evaluate an arbitrary string of DTML code?

Thanks a ton!

- T.J.
