This module allows you to generate HTML pages for a site at site compilation time. For example, suppose you wanted to have a page which contained all the images that are in a particular directory on disk. You could programmatically create such a page using this module.

type t

The type of an HTML tree

include sig ... end
val t_of_sexp : Sexplib.Sexp.t -> t
val sexp_of_t : t -> Sexplib.Sexp.t
val node : string -> Attribute.t list -> t list -> t

Create an HTML node with the given tag, attributes and children. For example, node "div" [] [] creates an empty div with no attributes and no children.

val literal : string -> t

For s : string, literal s just considers the string s to be a piece of HTML. The important property is that for t : t containing literal s, s will appear verbatim in to_string t.

This is useful for example in the following situation. Suppose you've got a markdown post on disk that you'd like to include as an HTML page in your site. You can do so by shelling out to a markdown compiler to convert it to a string representing HTML, and then using that string as a t by using literal.

val text : string -> t

Creates an HTML text node.

val to_string : t -> string

Convert the given HTML to a string.

Creates a link element, as used for css.

val hr : Attribute.t list -> t

Creates an hr element.
