Overview — Packages to write XML or HTML with Tcl

Description

The Tcl package xmlgen allows to write Tcl code which translates itself into XML.

Every tag is made into a markup command which takes attributes and the element's content as parameters and then prints the XML tagged content. Of course, the content again can contain markup commands.

On top of xmlgen there is the package htmlgen which comes with all the typical HTML tags predefined as markup commands. In addition, sub-namespaces of ::htmlgen contain what you could call markup macros. A markup macro's syntax resembles the syntax of a markup command but creates not just a pair of tags with content but a whole structure of tags nested always in the same way. Currently htmlgen::tab and htmlgen::sidenav implement common navigation structures for HTML sites.
