Overview

The Zope3 Template Attribute Languate (TAL) specifies the custom namespace and attributes which are used by the Zope Page Templates renderer to inject dynamic markup into a page. It also includes the Macro Expansion for TAL (METAL) macro language used in page assembly.

The dynamic values themselves are specified using a companion language, TALES (see the zope.tales package for more).

3.6.1 (2012-03-09)

• Avoid handling end tags within <script> tags in the HTML parser. This works around http://bugs.python.org/issue670664
• Fixed documentation link in README.txt.

3.6.0 (2011-08-20)

• Updated talinterpreter.FasterStringIO to faster list-based implementation.
• Increase the default value of the wrap argument from 60 to 1023 characters, to avoid extra whitespace and line breaks.
• Fix printing of error messages for msgid conflict with non-ASCII texts.

3.5.2 (2009-10-31)

• In talgettext.POEngine.translate, print a warning if a msgid already exists in the domain with a different default.

3.5.1 (2009-03-08)

• Updated tests of "bad" entities for compatibility with the stricter HTMLParser module shipped with Python 2.6.x.

3.5.0 (2008-06-06)

• Removed artificial addition of a trailing newline if the output doesn't end in one; this allows the template source to be the full specification of what should be included. (See https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/218706.)

3.4.1 (2007-11-16)

• Removed unnecessary dummyengine dependency on zope.i18n to simplify distribution. The dummyengine.DummyTranslationDomain class no longer implements zope.i18n.interfaces.ITranslationDomain as a result. Installing zope.tal with easy_install or buildout no longer pulls in many unrelated distributions.
• Support ability to run tests using "setup.py test".
• Stop pinning (no longer required) zope.traversing and zope.app.publisher versions in buildout.cfg.

3.4.0 (2007-10-03)

• Updated package meta-data.

3.4.0b1

• Updated dependency for zope.i18n that requires the correct version of zope.security to avoid a hidden dependency issue in zope.security.

Note: The code changes before 3.4.0b1 where not tracked as an individual package and have been documented in the Zope 3 changelog.
