The XML object is documented here:
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/05#XML. Just pass the string to XML()
directly. In the example you found, variations[x].content was specific to
that particular example (i.e., variations[x].content represented the string
to be displayed).
Note, XML(..., sanitize=True) will do some sanitizing of the HTML (i.e.,
only allow particular tags and attributes in order to minimize the
possibility of a security vulnerability).
