Try:
form[0].insert(7,
XML(response.render('path/to/template.html', dict(var1='something'),othervar
='something else')))
response.render() will render a template and return the HTML as a string.
You should wrap the response in XML() so the text doesn't get escaped. The
path to the template should be relative to the /views folder. The second
argument can be a dict -- the items in the dict will be available as
variables in the view environment (just like when a controller function
returns a dict). You can also add additional keyword arguments, which will
also get added to the view environment.
