which would allow dynamic data insertion without losing added
presentation tags.

Whenever possible, I'm going with
 <td><font color="white"><font size="+1"><i><span
tal:replace="here/splat">splat</span></i></font></font></td>

. . . which seems to me more in keeping with separation of content &
presentation, and saves hassles later on when you realize you didn't want a
table at all, but a <ul>. (Or if you're doing several variations on the same
template for delivery to different devices.)

I endorse Brad Clements' remark: "I still need a way to have a repeat that
does NOT include the enclosing element." This is extra important when you're
building XML.

ZPT is (are?) really making Zope happen for me. Thanks fellas!
