Is your idea to convert from the XML output of the NCBI BLAST tools
into HTML very closely resembling the NCBI's HTML output (perhaps for
another program to read as input).  Or do you just want to produce a
nice HTML page for a person to read (perhaps resembling the NCBI page
in appearance, but not using the same HTML layout)?

How would your code work -direct from the XML file, or from the
results of the existing Biopython BLAST parsers?
