How to replace ElementTree

[Remi Jolin]

Hello,

Still trying to get my marks with TG2.2 :-)

With TG1/genshi when I wanted to include some html pieces dynamically
generated is used ElementTree
for example :
upd_link = ET.Element('a', href='/xxx/%s' % value)
upd_link.text = 'some text'

and I passed this value in the returned dict.

In genshi I simply add something like
<a py:replace="upd_link">place holder</a>

Now I tried to do the same with TG2.2 and jinja ({{ upd_link }}) but I
can't get anything displayed (no error, but nothing generated).

So how can I get the same result I had with TG1 ?

hi remi,

is there any special reason building the html element with element tree? you certainly can use the value in your template.

<a href="{{ upd_link }}">update</a>

I think it is because TG1/genshi has autoescaping enabled and I have
enabled autoescape in jinja too.
ET is also a convenient way to build html structures when things get a
bit more complicated :-)

By the way, I found a solution with a custom filter, so I can write
something like <a href="{{ upd_link|et }}">update</a>

you totally don't need that filter.

in your controller action pass the upd_link variable in your dict, so it's like this:

    def my_action(self):
        upd_link = "/some/link/%s" % value
        return dict(upd_link=upd_link)

and in your template you just do <a href="{{ upd_link }}">update</a>.

that is really just all. you don't need anything else.

Yes, I know this is a solution, but the example I gave is not really
representative of what I want to display, and, in a process of migrating
some applications from TG1 to TG2, I want to do minimal changes :-)
