In converting the Form rendering templates to methods, I just applied
str() to all the htmltext.  The creation of htmltext by the widgets
that the Form renders does not cause any perplexities, and does not
require the Form class to have template methods, so it is indeed easy
to eliminate the PTL dependency.

Anybody using Quixote widgets separately from Form will certainly need
to understand about htmltext, but that is not really a problem. I can
even imagine that someone could choose to use htmltext without PTL.
