Is there an easy way to strip HTML markup from SQLFORM.grid's CSV/TSV 
export?  I realize I probably need to create a custom export function, but 
curious if there is an argument or a one liner that would do the trick.  Or 
is there a better way to format the display?

I have the following controller function:

@auth.requires_login()
def index():
    response.title = 'Computer Inventory'
    db.inventory.id.readable = False
    db.inventory.cpu_status.represent = lambda cpu_status, row: \
        SPAN(row.cpu_status,
             _style='text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: bold; 
padding:5px; color: %s; background-color: %s' %
             ('black' if row.cpu_status == 'Staged' else 'white','red' if 
row.cpu_status == 'Repair' else 'gold'
             if row.cpu_status == 'Staged' else 'green' if row.cpu_status 
== 'In Use' else 'black'))
    grid = SQLFORM.grid(db.inventory, csv=True)
    return locals()


When I export as CSV/TSV (as displayed to the user) all values for 
db.inventory.cpu_status are wrapped in SPAN tags for example:

<span style='text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: bold; padding:5px; 
color: white; background-color: black'>VALUE</span>
