I usually just take advantage of the fact that the <dtml-foobar ...> tags are
consumed by the DTML parser::

  <ul>
  <dtml-in "objectValues( 'Folder' )"  # no line break inside a DTML tag
  ><li> <a href="&dtml-id;"> <dtml-var id> </a> </li>
  </dtml-in></ul>

(Note that the "comment" will break -- DTML doesn't know from "#" as a comment
character).
