Right...I'm not sure you are correct in saying that Turbine is creating the
HTML. I know you looked at Jyve, but that isn't the "right" way to do
things...that was just a hack because at the time it was the way to do
things because integration with Webmacro/Freemarker wasn't as strong.
Today, Turbine should be used to create the Context which is then passed to
Cocoon to create the HTML.

:-) That is something I'm sure you will be able to find easily. :-)
