Returning html from an external method

Hi,

I've written an external method that returns a string of html.
However, when I call the method in a page template, the html is
encoded or quoted as text rather than rendered html. Can I get round
this?

This problem is probably the result of me not knowing how to pass
parameters to an external method or how to access a non-string (eg. a
list or dictionary) that is returned to a page template by the
external method.

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
-Arryn Pidwell

Re: Returning html from an external method

Use the 'structure' directive of ZPT. And please don't post twice.

Thanks, Andreas and Robert. Apologies for the double post - accidental.
