[Nuxeo-localizer] Unicode and StructuredText

[Garikoitz Araolaza]

Hi!

I found that since  2.6.0, Zope cannot render Structured Text with Unicode 
strings.

There is a collector log about the issue:

http://collector.zope.org/Zope/649

So long I understand (not much, to be true...), we (Latin-1 users) were 
very lucky StructuredText users, but now it doesn't work as we moved to 
Unicode.

I was surprised that no 8859-1-er pointed out that problem... So I 
privately asked to JDavid and he gave me a couple of tricks to solve this 
problem:

1- Patching the line 47 in DT_Var.py (Hmmm... I'd say line 405, not 
47...)  with this code:

>   if isinstance(v, StringType) or isinstance(v, UnicodeType)

(still untested by me)

2- Creating a filesystem method to be called at the place of 
fmt=structured-text so as:

    def stx(self, text):
        """
        Interprets the text parameter as structured text and returns
        the HTML code.
        """
        st = StructuredText.ST.Basic(text)
        doc = StructuredText.Document(st)
        return StructuredText.HTML(doc)

You see... there IS a solution.  he problem is that I don't find myself 
confortable enough to be able to discuss this in a ZopeDev environment.

Is anybody interested in this isssue or am I (I mean we, at Code&Syntax) alone?

Gari
