I am using in one of my DTMl-scripts the dtml-calendar. The
dtml-calendar gives the date as a DateTime-object ( in the script date
). I will get a DateTime object  for now with ZopeTime() call. For both
objects I then call Date()-function, which will produce a string of the
current date. Then I can compare these to each other.

<dtml-let d="date.Date()" hasdate="hasProperty(d)"
dprop="getProperty(d)" now="ZopeTime().Date()">
...
<dtml-if expr="d==now">

Hope this helps!
