Quixote's PTL lets you make it slightly simpler, because you don't
need the res.append() calls and the ''.join() at the end; compiler
wizardry takes care of that for you.  You lose the ability to have
docstrings, though, which is a minor tradeoff.

In PTL your example would be:

      template editListsForm(self, REQUEST):
	  self.standard_html_header()
          '''
           <form action="editListsAction">
            <b>Projekte:</b>
            Bitte wählen Sie die zu löschenden Projekte aus: <br><br>
            %s
            Hinzufügen eines neuen Projekts:
            <input type="text" name="new_projekt">
            <br>
            <input type="submit" value="Ausführen">
           </form>''' % (Utils.keywordInput('del_projekt',
                         self.defaults.GRS.grs_projektList())
          self.standard_html_footer()
