For those who love Python and, for reasons unknown, still like to write and format HTML manually.
- Add
pyhtml.pyto your project import pyhtml
This is the first thing to call and will return a new instance of PyHTML.
>>> pyhtml.new()It can take the following arguments:
doctype: str- doctype declaration (default: "")- valid doctypes: html5, html4.01s, html4.01t, html4.01f, xhtml1.1, xhtml1.0s, xhtml1.0t, xhtml1.0f
spaces: int- number of spaces used for indentation (default: 4)
For html4.01 and xhtml1.0: s, t, and f stands for strict, transitional, and frameset, respectively.
Strings and tuples are stringified into HTML attribute form.
>>> pyhtml.attr(("src", "simpsons.webm"), "autoplay", ("width", 800), ("height", 600))
'src="simpsons.webm" autoplay width="800" height="600"'Strings are treated as boolean attributes and 2-tuples are treated as value attributes. Tuples can take the form (str, str) or (str, int). Multiple comma separated strings and tuples can be specified.
string: str-- add arbitrary text to the HTML
Add indentation. Indentation is handled automatically by default. This is useful during manual spacing.
Add a newline. Newlines are handled automatically by default. This is useful during manual spacing or when additional newlines are desired.
Add a void element. These are elements that do not have a closing tag.
elem: str-- an HTML void elementattrs: str-- element attributes (default: "")
>>> html = pyhtml.new()
>>> html.vwrap("img", pyhtml.attr(("src", "kwikemart.png"), ("width", 358), ("height", 278)))
>>> print(html)
<img src="kwikemart.png" width="358" height="278">Add an element. The closing tag will be inserted automatically.
elem: str-- an HTML elementattrs: str-- element attributes (default: "")
>>> html = pyhtml.new()
>>> with html.wrap("div", pyhtml.attr(("class", "big"))):
... html.append("Embiggened!")
...
>>> print(html)
<div class="big">
Embiggened!
</div>Disable automatic indentation and newlines. Statements within the block will not have automatic indentation or newlines.
>>> html = pyhtml.new()
>>> with html.manual_spacing():
... with html.wrap("em"):
... html.append("Itchy")
... html.append(" & ")
... with html.wrap("em"):
... html.append("Scratchy")
...
>>> print(html)
<em>Itchy</em> & <em>Scratchy</em>>>> import pyhtml
>>> html = pyhtml.new()
>>> with html.wrap("html"):
... with html.wrap("head"):
... with html.wrap("title"):
... html.append("Dr. Nick")
... with html.wrap("body"):
... with html.wrap("p"):

<html>
<head>
<title>

</title>
</head>

# a wrapped element on a single line.
