You can take a look at the owa replacement cartridge (freeware, source code and binary, use at own risk sort of deal) on http://govt.us.oracle.com/ under downloadable utilities. It'll let you embed PL/SQL in html, for example:

<html>
<head>
<title>Hello</hello>
</head>
<body>

this is some text, lots of stuff here <img src=foo.gif> ...
...

<oracle>
begin

    some_procedure( :n );
end;
</oracle>

here is more text....

<table>
<tr><th>Ename</th><th>Job</th></tr>
<oracle>

begin

   owa_util.cellsprint( 'select ename, job from emp where ename like :ename' ); end;
</oracle>
</table>

here is yet more...

<oracle>
declare

   l_str varchar2(25);
begin

   select to_char( sysdate, 'dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss' ) into l_str from dual;    htp.bold( 'The time is ' || l_str );
end;
</oracle>
