I think thats a bit too likely to interpret stuff in the log messages
as formatting directives.

Two options come to mind:

  1. Don't use HTML.  Return the logfile as-is with Content-Type:
     text/plain.  [That way the user can also save it if needed.]

  2. Escape the file contents using cgi.escape() and then stick the 
     escaped contents inside <pre> </pre> tags.  That's not as nice,
     since saving it is no longer a useful option.

Hey Pedro,

You could also use pygments
to nicely format the logfile
perhaps even with Syntax Highlighting.

https://bitbucket.org/freecodeteam/hpaste/src/749c36d184a6/hpaste.circuits/paste.py

You could also provide an "Download" link
that services the file up as Content-Type: text/plain

cheers
James
