This is what I have:- <dtml-var expr="testlist(parm='myobjectname')"> I wish to get 'myobjectname' into this line in 'testlist' which is marked with ********* python:here.parse_file(file=context.******,sepr=',',clone=1)"> There must be a simple way of doing this, but I haven't come across an example of it and I've spent most of the day on it. > I am pretty sure that your problem is with the expression > context.options['parm'].
