Re: [Zope] Saving a Rendered DTML Document
Thanks for your help.

Also, if you could point me to an example, that would help. Thanks. You are missing the basis of Zope. Any Zope object that provides an API to generate content (HTML/plain text or whatever) can be called from a PyScript, from ZPT, from DTML. You just have to call the object method. The content returned from the object is then inserted into the output stream. And tal:content would be the way to take an object and call one of its exposed methods to produce *something*. Everything else is documented in three chapters of the Zope Book. -aj pgpup8MrpWRdz.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
