Ely Content Generator

This is a simple component for generating zope content. It is especially useful for tests. It uses a simple xml syntax for defining the content structure and some hooks to call python methods or read data from files.

eg:

<cs:contentstructure
 xmlns:cs="http://www.elyt.com/cs"
 xmlns:z="http://www.zope.org/">
 <cs:container z:portal_type="Folder" z:id="folder1">
   <cs:leaf cs:repeat="10" z:portal_type="Document" z:id="page1"/>
   <cs:leaf z:portal_type="Document" z:id="page2"/>
   <cs:leaf z:portal_type="Document" z:id="page3"/>
 </cs:container>
 <cs:container z:portal_type="Folder" z:id="folder2">
   <cs:leaf z:portal_type="Document" z:id="page4" z:description="file: ${testfolder}/page4_description.txt"/>
   <cs:leaf z:portal_type="Document" z:id="page5" z:description="python: self.description_page5"/>
   <cs:leaf z:portal_type="Link" z:id="link1" z:remoteUrl="http://www.google.com"/>
   <cs:leaf cs:repeat="2" z:portal_type="Document" z:id="page6"/>
 </cs:container>
</cs:contentstructure>
