See, for example, the view template at 
<http://dev.plone.org/collective/browser/quills.app/trunk/quills/app/browser/weblogentry_view.pt> 
(and then the entry_macros template in the skins folder).  It's the 
'weblog_content' stuff that you are looking for.

(Actually, your request to explain things led me to double check the 
code I have in my local working copy.  I have currently implemented an 
equivalent 'getWeblogEntryContentObject' method, but I'm not sure that 
it's necessary.)
