[Zope] DocumentTemplates -> static pages

Andreas,

My quick solution was to write an unescape function
and invoke it prior to writing the template values.

def unescape(s):
    s = string.replace(s, "&quot;", '"')
    s = string.replace(s, "&lt;", "<")
    s = string.replace(s, "&gt;", ">")
    s = string.replace(s, "&amp;", "&")
    return s

e.g.: f.write(unescape("%s\n" % myDT))

I hope I'm not doing this the hard way.
