I have to choose which features of Zope to learn and use, based on a
much larger criteria than I can present here. <br>
<br>
I do not wish to mix ZPT and DTML in my project... I had chosen DTML,
before ZPT was mature... It may be better, but I don't care for now...
when I'm able to re-assess which pieces of Zope to use in a future
project, I may well choose it.<br>
<br>
As a professional programmer, you must see the advantage in adhering to
a project's standards and specs, as to managing the code in the
project. That is why I needed to use DTML for my RSS.<br>
<br>
I have chosen my mix for this project, and benefit much more from my
standards docs much more than any single feature like ZPT can provide.<br>
<br>
As far as I know, DTML is being supported into the future, and my hand
will not be forced.<br>
<br>
I appreciate all the hard work in developing ZPT for the community, but
it's just not for me, yet... probably be used in my first Zope 3
project instead.<br>
<br>
BTW, the solution presented by Peter hit the nail on the head... I have
a very nice RSS setup now for my Zope app.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

Use ZPT, it's much better suited to this...

What do you mean by "extended characters" here?

This obviously doesn't work, (would have been cool if it did tho). How
do I access the structured text and html quote translation mechanisms
in an expr tag.

<br>
Something like <dtml-var
expr="summary.structured_text().html_quote()">

ZPT does html quoting by default, so provided summary.structured_text()
does what yo uexpect it to, you could just do:
<br>
<br>
<tal:x replace="summary/structured_text"/>
<br>
<br>
That said, I'd pretty sure RSS feeds CAN include html, and it doesn't
need to be quoted...

Well, un-choose it, especially for something new and isolated like an
RSS feed...
