HTML

---

This header provides an easy (although debatably sane) way to generate html in c.

There are three types of tags:

• One and done tags, like <img> or <hr> which only have an opening tag
• Basic tags which follow this format: <tag>content</tag>
• Tags where the content is probably other tags

You can open and close any tags using tagBeg and tagEnd, you can also set attributes like this:

tagBeg("div", .class="content", .id="main");

Finally, you can use the htmlRaw macro to write raw html.

Example code:

str_t generate_page(arena_t *arena, page_t *data) {
    str_t out = STR_EMPTY;

    htmlBeg(arena, &out);
        headBeg();
            title(data->title);
            htmlRaw(<script src="script.js"></script>)
            style(data->css);
        headEnd();
        bodyBeg();
            divBeg(.id="main");
                h1("Hello World!");
                hr();
                p("Some content blah blah");
                img(.src="image.png");
            divEnd();
        bodyEnd();
    htmlEnd();

    return out;
}
