if you are offended by HTML questions on this list, please feel free to
flame me off list.

I would like to display a boolean value in my #index view as a checkbox that
is checked when true and blank when not true.  Is there some markup that can
do this?  Is it "legal" to embed an <input type="checkbox"> tag outside the
context of a form?  Even if it's "legal", is it considered bad practice?

I've poked around a little looking to see what others have done, and I could
embed a checkmark image in my page, or I could embed the proper Unicode code
for a checkmark, and hope that the browser has a font installed with that
character, but it seems to me that the browser must already know how to
display a checkmark, and in the principle of DRY, I should be able to reuse
it :-)
