The using environment converts the DTML object into a string by calling str. str(dtmlObject) returns the object's source -- html quoted. When you are using Python syntax (expr attribute), you must yourself take care of calling the object (it happens by magic when you use the name attribute (no Python syntax)). Note, that calling DTML objects yourself has a caveat: you must pass the two positional arguments None, _ (in order not to loose the DTML namespace).

[Zope] python: calling DTML-methods without quoting
Hi, I hope this is not a FAQ, but I looked for some info to no avail. If I call a DTML-Method from an other Method (e.g. dtml-var someDTML), HTML entities are not converted. However if I call it from python (e.g. dtml-var somePath.someDTML the entities are html_quoted. This changed with Zope 2.7.x (?). Before that DTMLMethods were not quoted when called from python. I know the easy workaround is to dtml-with to the namespace of the object and call it the zope-way. I have a customer with several large applications which run on an old Zope only for the described reason. The applications relay heavily on calling DTML-Methods to include pieces of HTML, JavaScript, etc. Changing the old code would be an enormous effort. Is there a way to patch zope to show the old behavior?

Re: [Zope] python: calling DTML-methods without quoting
No. dtml-var somePath.someDTML returns a pointer to that object called someDTML. Not it's rendered content. dtml-var somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST) does the same as dtml-with somePathdtml-var someDTML/dtml-with (sort of) There's a big difference between dtml-var somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST) and dtml-var somePath.someDTML(_, REQUEST) html_quote Either I didn't understand your question or this answers it for you. 2005/10/4, Chris [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Hi, I hope this is not a FAQ, but I looked for some info to no avail.

Re: [Zope] python: calling DTML-methods without quoting
Hi Peter, dtml-with somePath.someDTML dtml-var foo /dtml-with Now I'm very confused. What the heck is someDTML and what is foo. I thought someDTML was a DTML Method/Document. Then what is foo? Sorry, my fault. This should read dtml-with somePath dtml-var someDTML /dtml-with I could be wrong but it seems your DTML usage is flawed. Then yes, you'll have to write some regular expression scripts that recodes them to call templates the correct way. This would be no problem. However I need zope to do this automatically so I don't have to change the dtml-var calls in the customer's code. So my thought is to alter the __call__ method of DTMLMethod.py which is kind of ugly in case I want to update Zope later on. PS. Do you need convincing that Page Templates are better than DTML for HTML stuff? I KNOW that :-) I don't use DTML myself. As I said I try to get a customer's stuff run on a curent version of zope. I would love to clean up his stuff and convert is to tal.
