I don't have a 1:1 list, but it should be clear from the subpackage names.

containers:  various container objects and dict/list helpers
date:  date/time formatting
html:
    - builder: HTML tag builder (exported as webhelpers.html)
    - converters: convert text markup to HTML and back
           (front ends for markdown & textilize)
           fill paragraphs, newline-to-break, render HTML to text,
           sanitize (strip tags)
    - tags: create form tags, anchor tags, etc
    - secure_form: form with authentication tokens to prevent XSS attacks
    - tools: create more sophisticated tags (mailto, highlight, etc)
misc: Things that don't fall into another package.
   any(), all(), no(), count_true(), convert_or_none(),
   DeclarativeException: an extensible exception base class
number: number formatting, statistical analysis
text: text formatting (non-HTML)

These subpackages have all existed for 1 1/2 years, so you're probably
familiar with them.

That would be great, just send me the info.  All helpers are
considered if they're:
    * useful to a wide variety of applications
    * pure Python
    * proper XHTML syntax with smart escaping (must use
webhelpers.html, not string concatenation)
