   I'd recommend you to use DocumentTemplate (ZTemplates from www.zope.org)
instead.

   Do not use HTMLLib, it is designed for formatting text representation of
HTML. Use SGMLLib instead.

   Cannot show HTML->HTML, but can show HTML parsing with SGMLLib. Look
into my project "Bookmarks database and Internet robot". There is a parser
for bookmarks.html - one of the parsers I wrote so many times.
