Mind that you can also define functions in templates. For example
{{def link(url):}}<a href="{{=url}}">{{=url}}</a>{{return}}
you can put your funcitons in the template that needs them or in a new
template (say aux.html) and include it {{include 'aux.html'}}
You would then use it with {{link('http://www.web2py.com'}}
