Andy,
I am actually just starting working with it. As long as I can have help
futzing with the aq_parent stuff to get it to work, I'll be using it in my
intranet app.
My real desire is to find a way to construct these type of html objects
from html. Like a poor man's HyperDOM. :)
Cool, do I see a Zope product coming up?

Actually, I have been playing with it.
What it does is create HTML, XHTML, XML from python objects like so:
p = TABLE(bgcolor="#0", border="0", cellpadding="1",
TR(
TD('my stuff goes here')))
print p
TABLE bgcolor="#0" border="0" cellpadding="1"
TR
TDmy stuff goes here/TD/TR/TABLE
So I just create bit and pieces that get called to form a UI.
Aquisition works too. I have a property in a containing folder, that I
called as the bgcolor of the table and it worked fine.
All my best,
The docs I quickly looked at suggested it just parsed XHTML into HTML,
nothing more. It would be interesting useful if it did do so much
more... Im
assuming there would be a little bit of Zope integration to do...

Since it would be python, can you not call objects, run python, and
lots
of
stuff? ;)
You lose out on all the wondeful help you get from this mailing list
:)
But seriously this is a html generator... dtml is a great deal more
than
just a html formatter, it can call objects, run python and lots of
stuff.

Zopists,
Can anyone tell me off hand any big disadvantages to not using
DTML
(Caching, etc...) and using a package like HyperText
http://dustman.net/andy/python/HyperText
to produce html display for your objects, and use python to
process
it?
