PL/SQL output in a region

Question

Greetings,
I have the following pl/sql routine that I'm playing with, eventually wanting to create a custom report building the HTML myself based on another table. My problem is that this code will only work within a process. Is there any way to include it inside a region so that I an apply a template to the eventual output of the data?
declare
type my_cursor_type is ref cursor return emp%rowtype;
my_cursor my_cursor_type;
my_cursor2 my_cursor_type;
f emp%rowtype;
f2 emp%rowtype;
begin
open my_cursor for SELECT * from emp;
LOOP
fetch my_cursor into f;
exit when my_cursor%notfound;
htp.p(f.ename);htp.p('---');htp.p(f.empno); htp.br;
open my_cursor2 for select * from emp where empno = f.empno;
LOOP
fetch my_cursor2 into f2;
exit when my_cursor2%notfound;
htp.p(f2.empno); htp.br;
end LOOP;
close my_cursor2;
end LOOP;
close my_cursor;
end;
Thanks in Advance,

Looking for an answer to:

? :) I'll take a stab at it tonight sometime.
Anyway, you can't do ref cursors in HTML DB. Additionally, there is no way to apply templates to anything but a SQL query or a function body returning SQL query.
