Certainly. Woven uses / rather than . as the submodel name separator.=20
So simply do this:

<span model=3D"object/title" view=3D"Text" />

/ is used rather than . because / can indicate any method of accessing=20=

a conceptual child object, whether it occurs by attribute access,=20
dictionary or list lookup, or method call; it's up to the IModel=20
adapter to decide how to access children. I believe this is covered in=20=

the "Model in Depth" section of the documentation.

Hope that helps!
