Another technique is to use named string fields in the interpolation format:

print """<tr>
     <td class="pad">%(keywords)s
     </td>
     <td class="pad">%(quotation)s
     </td>
     <td class="pad">%(citation)s
     </td>
     <td class="pad" align="center"><form action="update.cgi"
name="updateform" enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
method="GET"><input type="hidden" name="zid" value="%(zid)d"><input
type="submit" value="Edit"></form>
     </td>
     </tr>
     """ % row

This style is a bit easier to follow, and later maintain.
