Hmm. I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to use 'represent'.
Let's try a different approach. Let's say I want to do this:
db_mydb.my_table.location.represent = lambda "something")
And the "something" I want to output would be XML('<span
style="color:#EB0F0F">' + row.location + '</span>')
Now, how would I create the lambda function to do this and then, how would
I reference the .represent attribute:
db_mydb.my_table.location.represent(?)
to retrieve the value that I want?
