[Zope] SSI & DTML working together

[Luciano Ramalho]

Here is how we generated the SSI "include" tag:

<!--#var expr="hx_include('menu.html')"-->

And the source of the hx_include external method is simply this:

def hx_include(filename):
    return '<!--#include file="%s"-->' % filename

In some places we used this DTML:

<!--#if simulate_ssi-->
   <!--#var -include-menu-->
<!--#else-->
   <!--#var expr="hx_include('menu.html')"-->
<!--#/if-->

So whenever a parameter like "simulate_ssi=1" was appended to the request
URL, we would "simulate" the SSI in Zope.

It's rather ironic having to deal with SSI issues in Zope. In the future
Zope will be everywhere and we will not have this problem...
