Do yourself a favor and import the module as from htmlgen import nil and then fully qualify the macros.

Note: The Karax project (nimble install karax) has a better way to achieve the same, see https://github.com/pragmagic/karax/blob/master/tests/nativehtmlgen.nim for an example.

This module implements a simple XML and HTML code generator. Each commonly used HTML tag has a corresponding macro that generates a string with its HTML representation.

Examples

var nim = "Nim"
echo h1(a(href="http://nim-lang.org", nim))

Writes the string:

<h1><a href="http://nim-lang.org">Nim</a></h1>

Examples:

let nim = "Nim"
assert h1(a(href = "http://nim-lang.org", nim)) ==
    """<h1><a href="http://nim-lang.org">Nim</a></h1>"""
assert form(action = "test", `accept - charset` = "Content-Type") ==
    """<form action="test" accept-charset="Content-Type"></form>"""
