Re: [Cheetahtemplate-discuss] Placeholder problem

[Shannon -jj B. <jj...@gm...>]

If all else fails, you can always fall back to avoiding the name
mapper syntax in cases like these:

$str(volume.selection_id.value)

It also helps to look at what's going on in the compiled template when
you decide to do this.  Please forgive me if I have misunderstood the
problem.
