Ok so the above plan works fine*. *In the interest of completeness, the
original demo code can be made to work sensibly on modern web2py (2.9.11).
So you can remove the code in the controller and (essentially) paste it
into a view. But a few corrections are needed - the major ones being adding
=XML() around the pdf.output call and just using {{ instead of {{{ . A diff
is attached.
