[ZPT] strange metal error

Wed, 20 Feb 2002 13:29:56 -0500

Here's a weird situation, can anyone explain?

Two Page Templates, Master, which looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html metal:define-macro="Master">
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
        tal:attributes="href python:here.StyleSheet.absolute_url()" />
    <title tal:content="template/title">The title</title>
  </head>
  <body tal:define="bgcolor template/bgcolor|string:white" tal:attributes="bgcolor 
bgcolor">
  <span tal:omit-tag="" tal:replace="structure here/JavaScript" />

.. more snipped out ..

Then, index_html, which looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <title tal:content="template/title">The title</title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <div metal:use-macro="here/Master/macros/Master">
      <div metal:fill-slot="main">

..  stuff here snipped out ..

When I Test index_html, and view the source, I get this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN">
<html>
  <head>
    <title></title>
  </head>

  <body>
    <html>
  <head>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
          href="http://marimba.murkworks.com:6180/Holmes/StyleSheet" />
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body bgcolor="#990033">
  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

Notice TWO <body> tags!

(I also see the DOCTYPE is different but that's okay)

Index_html has de-selected "expand macros when editing"

Zope 2.5 binary on Linux.
