PyML
A python HTML builder library.
Goals
- Fully functional html builder similar to the javascript node manipulation.
- Implement an html parser that returns a Document instance with the proper properties and children.
- Prettify JavaScript to fit in with the prettified html.
- Add more API methods.
- Add CSS selector support.
- Add styling configuration.
Usage
If you have ever manipulated html using JavaScript then this should be really intuitive. You just use the document to create a node. You then modify the node with the properties and children that you want. And insert that node into the document.
from PyML import Document
doc = Document()
title = doc.create_element("title")
title.append_child(doc.create_text_node("Example title!"))
doc.head.append_child(title)
print(doc)
results in
<html>
<head>
<title>Example title!title>
head>
<body>body>
html>
Contributing
Anybody is free to contribute if they want, just make sure you follow the points listed below:
- Don't rename/move methods/objects without consulting me first.
- Don't introduce new functionality without explaining in-depth why we need said functionality (unless its from the Goals section)
- Your code must be PEP-8 compliable.
