I see -- you want to be able to treat blog.body as a web2py template, not
as HTML content or pure Python. Maybe try something like this:
{{from gluon.template import render}}
{{=XML(render(blog.body, context=response._vars))}}
Or maybe use context=globals() if the template needs to access other
objects in the view environment besides the items returned by the
controller (e.g., models or web2py API objects).
You could also do that in the controller and return the XML object from the
controller.

Or maybe try context=globals() if you need other items in the environment
besides those returned by the controller.
