I don't know if the innards of CL-WHO have changed in the two years  
since I wrote my code, but I did put together a hack that did exactly  
this, calling APPLY-TO-TREE and TREE-TO-TEMPLATE with a rewritten - 
AUX function.

Rather than walking an expression inside a macro, producing code to  
print HTML, we walk the form inside a function, printing strings  
directly.

I don't know if it still works, but it's under 100 lines, so you  
should be able to replicate it pretty easily.
