How to activate boolean attributes
When using chamelon templates using selected or checked as attributes in tal:attributes seems to fail, as the tag is rendered with something like selected=False.
The solution is somewhat hidden in the documentation. The solution is to activate boolean_attributes on the template:
template = PageTemplate("<input type="checkbox" tal:attributes="checked True" />",
boolean_attributes={"selected", "checked"})
// or
templates = PageTemplateLoader(path, boolean_attributes={"selected", "checked"})
I've created a pull request.
Update: pull request got accepted, yeah \o/
