With Drupal 5 theming is handled with theme functions by default (you can use a tpl.php file but not directly). So calling your theme function looks like this

   ...
   $arg1 = 'hai';

   // You  can pass any number of arguments to theme()
   $output =  theme('your_theme_function', $arg1);

When you declare the function the actual name is theme_your_theme_function (the name passed to theme prefixed with 'theme_'), so it might look like

function  theme_your_theme_function($text) {
   return '<span class="some-class">' . $text . '</text>';
}

See http://drupal.org/node/11811 for overriding the theme function and using a tpl.php file.
