thanks, that's very good of you.
I've implemented a zero-fat implementation to reproduce the behaviour
and remove my app's details...
In controllers\default.py I have:
def example():
path=os.path.join(request.folder, 'views')
context= dict(one="1", two="2")
message= parse_template('default/
example.html',path=path,context=context)
print message
return True
In views\example.html I have 7 lines:
An example view for emails.
One = {{=one}}
Two = {{two}}
The end.
so I call app/example
and in my console I see this (from the print message statement):
response.write('An example view for emails.\r\n\r\nOne =
',escape=False)
response.write(one)
response.write('\r\n\r\nTwo = ',escape=False)
two
response.write('\r\n\r\nThe end.',escape=False)
I'm running on WinXP but I don't think that's relevant here.
Hopefully you can either see the issue in my code or at least
reproduce the behaviour using the code supplied.
