The special "namespace" variable, "_"
It is useful to access the variables with special names, like "sequence-index"
For example:
<dtml-if "sequence-index==3" > will not work
"sequence MINUS index==3" :-)
You have to use <dtml-if "_['sequence-index']==3" >
In fact "_['id']" is the some thing with "id" , I presume (or maybe I'm wrong).
so, is no difference between
<dtml-if "id=='index_html'">
&&
<dtml-if "_['id']=='index_html'">
