Re: the "Cheetah files" (part 1)

Hi Mike!

I tried to use your href function, but the quoteHtml can not be found
on my system.

Another question:
What is the best way to import such functions in a template:
I tried:
#from CheetahHelpFunctions import href
This does work.

However:
#from CheetahHelpFunctions import *
does not work - I guess this is a feature?
