How do people do this?
When I attempt to validate pages using the FireFox / Web Developer
validator, I get a lot of complaints about tags that should be
self-closed e.g.:
<input type="text">
<nevow:attr name="name"><nevow:slot name="name"/></nevow:attr>
</input>
Generally, I try to avoid working to please markup validators, but that
may just be me ;)
...generates HTML like this:
<input type="text" name="theName">
</input>
...which is not only ugly, it doesn't validate.
A simple way to get around this is to eschew the cuter features of
nevow, and stick to plain-old render methods:
<input type="text" nevow:render="foo" />
In the render method, just grab the tag, twiddle its attributes in
whatever way best pleases you, and return it.
I like stan, but I dislike the fact that it clutters up .py files and
also that it doesn't reload like the disk templates. OTOH I deeply
dislike the nevow:attr / nevow:slot pseudo-tags in the disk templates.
Sounds like you won't be happy either way ;) Fortunately, something
like what I suggested above should work for your stated case, and
allow you to steer between the Scylla of stan and the Charybdis of
nevow:attr.
Hope this helps,
L. Daniel Burr
