One of the beauties about this (and the template language) in web2py was "no
manual needed for this!" -
That is, the template language is "just python", once you discuss
{{statement}} syntax, and {{=variable}} output, and using {{pass} to
disambiguate indentation issues, all else is "just python".
The same is true for HTML tags: any <tag> will (usually) have a TAG()
helper object, where the html tag attributes are named with a leading "_" in
the helper, that is {{=DIV('Hello World', _id='this')}} outputs <div
id="this">Hello World</div>
Two more things for "complete documentation ( ;-):
Output is safe - that is, when you use a helper class html is escaped. This
is the primary reason to use helper classes over raw html (or a reason to
choose raw html vs. a helper). If you _need_ to have raw output (unescaped)
you can wrap that piece in XML("<b>show me raw</b>")
Finally, if some tag you want is not defined in web2py, the generic form
TAG.name() will serve, e.g. you could have written this:
{{=TAG.div('Hello ', 'World', _id='this')}}
