That would be writing HTML just another way and also
mixing code and representation, this is generally not a
good idea.

If you really don't want to maintain HTML along with
your code, I'd suggest an approach like

Zope Page Templates

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zope_Page_Templates#Zope_Page_Templates

which can be used outside Zope as well, (even with many other languages)

For example: http://zpt.sourceforge.net/
