First, you attached the hooks.php diff twice, and no diff for view.php.

Second, I'd rather see this done by making the API function return an array or
set of arrays that can be passed to a Horde_Template for formatting (or
something else if you like), instead of with a hook. Or by passing in a
Horde_Template file to the API function, which will be filled and then
returned. How's that sound?
