The CAT() helper is for concatenating other helpers without wrapping them
in an HTML tag when serialized.
More simply:
with open(os.path.join(request.folder, 'static',"words", "words.txt"),
'r') as infile:
content = CAT(*(P(SPAN(line, _class='body')) for line in infile))

I would like to programmatically take text files in the controller, format
them (per paragraph with spans and p) and pass them to a view as
{{=content}}.
The helpers seem to be designed to prevent me from doing that (eg can't
accumulate them one at a time into the string content).
response.write puts them in the wrong place.
SPAN(text).xml() gets escaped.
For example (in controller/default.py):
def words():
with open(os.path.join(request.folder, 'static',"words", "words.txt"),'r')
as infile:
content = ""
for line in infile:
s = SPAN(line, _class="body")
content +=P(s) # I know this doesn't work
return dict(content=content)
How do I go about achieving this?
Thanks
