[Zope] dtml-in fails

[Holger Paulsen]

Hello!


I am very new to Zope, I do not know something about Python
and DTML and I am german. So, at first, I have to apologize
my bad english.

And now my problem: I would like to show the content of a
directory. Simple. That fine Zope-book says:

| <ul>
|  <dtml-in expr="objectValues('../File')">
|     <li><a href="&dtml-absolute_url;"><dtml-var title_or_id></a></li>
|  </dtml-in>
| </ul>

should do this.

I created a folder, put two JPGs from my home directory into
it and pasted that code into the index_html-DTML-document.

It does not work. When I view this index.html-File in a
Browser, the result is:

| <ul>
|  </ul>

Please note the "space" before "</ul>".

My system is GNU/Linux; Debian testing. "python -v" answers:

The installed Debian version of Zope is 2.3.3-1.


Something seems to be borken. How can I fix it?


TIA
