Dont know if it helps, but note that you can enclose HTML as a function.
views/my_html_functions.html
>
> {{def my_html_block(args):}}
> {{if args.....:}}
> <tag></tag>
> {{pass}}
> {{=DIV(UL(LI()))}}
> <tag></tag>
> <tag></tag>
> <tag></tag>
> {{return}}
>
views/anyfile.html
>
> {{extend "layout.html"}}
> {{include "my_html_functions.html"}}
>
> <div>
> {{my_html_blog(args)}}
> </div>
>
Note that when calling that function you do not need to use {{=}}
