PathNameTraversal

Path traversal in DTML names Proposal

Poster child: <dtml-var thing/over/here html_quote>

Goals

  • Allow simple reference to names which are more than one containment/acquisition step away.

Proposed Changes

Modify (at least) the Var, Call, and In tags, and probably &dtml-; notation, so that when the name they are operating on looks like a/b/c, it is treated a path with elements a, b, and c using non-REQUEST traversal.

See InterfacesWiki:Traversal for more details and discussion.

Result

Less need for DTML-With and expressions, more expressiveness.
