BEAUTIFY is not meant for this purpose. Instead, you can try a readonly
form (which is what the grid uses to view the details of each record):
{{=SQLFORM(db.auth_user, record=record, readonly=True)}}
You can control the display via the "represent" attribute of each field as
well as the "formstyle" argument to SQLFORM.
If you need a radically different layout, you might instead just have to
create a custom HTML layout for the display in the template. In that case,
if you still want to take advantage of the "represent" attributes of each
field, to get the fully rendered values of each field in the record, you
can do:
record = db(db.auth_user.id == id).select().render(0)
