is there an alternative to generating html content via function return values?

I'm just starting to use cherrypy, from what I understand
exposed
functions
generate html content by returning a string. Is there
another way to
send
html content back to the user?

Sometimes I find that I want to use function return values
for my own
application and needing to return a string makes that a bit
unnatural.

Thanks for any info.

There certainly is another way.  You might like to look at
the way that
TurboGears [1] uses Kid templates (linked to CherryPy by
means of an "expose"
decorator) to generate HTML.  Once you figure how that
works, all sorts of other
possibilities might come to mind.

A beauty of the TurboGears approach, IMO, is that it
provides a "full stack"
environment without burying all the cool things that
CherryPy can do within the
framework.
