htmly

htmly

Dead-simple, easy-to-use HTML generation macros for Nim.

import htmly

h1 {"class": "title"}:
  "It could not be easier!"

p:
  "Nest as many "
  a {"href": "#"}: "elements"
  " as you need!"

This generates the following HTML:

<h1 class="title">It could not be easier!</h1>
<p>Nest as many <a href="#">elements</a> as you need!</p>

Why not Karax?

Karax's HTML generator is pretty nice, but difficult to integrate. Ultimately, it is kind of disappointing that you need to import a huge frontend library just for decent HTML generation, and the text syntax is a bit ugly and not even neccessary. std/htmlgen and htmly both can do without it.

Why not std/htmlgen

If you're looking to accomplish the same basic task without adding on dependencies, then std/htmlgen is the right tool for you. I personally find the nested tree of parenthesis that you get when using std/htmlgen to be too annoying, dense and difficult to read, so I've created this one that is slightly better for the eyes.
