Add a string to string values of an inner list

Question

Ok, so I have this list,

[['A', 'B', 'C'], ['D', 'E', 'F'], ['G', 'H', 'I']]

I want to add html tags to the values in the inner lists.

How would I go about doing this?

i.e.

[['<b>A</b>', '<b>B</b>', '<b>C</b>'], ['<b>D</b>', '<b>E</b>', '<b>F</b>'], ['<b>G</b>', '<b>H</b>', '<b>I</b>']]

Like this?

def AddHtml(s): return '<b>' + s + '</b>'

def AddHtmlArray(a) : return map(AddHtml, a)

...

map(AddHtmlArray, yourList)

>>> l = [['A', 'B', 'C'], ['D', 'E', 'F'], ['G', 'H', 'I']]

>>> out = [['<b>'+s+'</b>' for s in subl] for subl in l]

>>> out
[['<b>A</b>', '<b>B</b>', '<b>C</b>'], ['<b>D</b>', '<b>E</b>', '<b>F</b>'], ['<b>G</b>', '<b>H</b>', '<b>I</b>']]
