colours by wrapping them in parameter-specified HTML tags. Non-numeric values are not wrapped.
StructuredText: a la Zope's <dtml-var myVar> formatter="StructuredText". We'd have to determine which structured text module to base this on. (There is a Python reStructuredText_ standard which may or may not be suitable. It replaces the old "Structured Text", and may not be stable for several months.)

ZopeDtmlVar, which would grok the same formatting arguments Zope's

Date/Time formats in a manner compatible with the Egenix mx.DateTime module (rather than Zope's conflicting attributes).
SuperFilter, providing the best of all the other filters combined.
