"""Classes to generate HTML in Python
The HTMLTags module defines a class for all the valid HTML tags, written in
uppercase letters. To create a piece of HTML, the general syntax is :
t = TAG(innerHTML, key1=val1,key2=val2,...)
so that "print t" results in :
innerHTML
For instance :
print A('bar', href="foo") ==> bar
To generate HTML attributes without value, give them the value True :
print OPTION('foo',SELECTED=True,value=5) ==>
For non-closing tags such as foo bar
If you have a list (or any iterable) of instances, you can't concatenate the items with
sum(instanceList) because sum takes only numbers as arguments. So there is a
function called Sum which will do the job :
Sum( TR(TD(i)+TD(i*i)) for i in range(100) )
generates the rows of a table showing the squares of integers from 0 to 99
The innerHTML argument can be a string, but you can't concatenate a string and
an instance of an HTML class, like in :
H1('To be or ' + B('not to be'))
For this, use a class called TEXT, which will not generate any tag :
H1(TEXT('To be or ') + B('not to be'))
A simple document can be produced by :
print HTML( HEAD(TITLE('Test document')) +
BODY(H1('This is a test document')+
TEXT('First line')+BR()+
TEXT('Second line')))
This will produce :
Test document
This is a test document
First line
