hi all. i know this doesn't sound like a superb idea, but i may have to do something like it.
i have data coming from the db and being displayed to the user as instructions. "do this," "go there," etc. i'd like to have that data executed in the environment, so i could say "do this, {{=user.first_name}}." but when i say {{=XML(instruction.step)}} it spits out the raw text but doesn't execute it. this only happens for db info that we put in, no user data. is there a way to run it through the web2py interpreter before displaying it to the user? thanks, and happy holidays. matt
