[ANN] tagz-5.0.0

[Florian Gilcher]

Who uses HTML4 anymore????

Actually, there are enough reasons for sticking with HTML. Especially
interesting is the point how most Browsers consume XHTML, to be found
in [1], section "HTML-compatible XHTML".

Hi Florian,

I hadn't seen this article, but I'm quite familiar with the
differences.
Generating (X)HTML with Tagz will be handy, but it isn't my primary
interest.

All the better . It's just that I see a lot of aggressive talk against
HTML from people that don't really know the striking differences
between both.

I want a really slick tool/syntax for generating complex XML documents
using multiple namespaces and processing instructions. I've been
doing
this in various ways for several years, and nearly all of them suck --
equally and in different ways.

That would be great. I haven't used many tools, but I know your problem.

Tagz is the first thing I've seen (accidentally, I might add) that
finally allowed me to write quasi-markup in code vs. the other way
around. It's also quite timely, because I once again need to
generate a
bunch of XML, but this time I'm using Ruby and it's looking like
I'll be
adopting Tagz across the board for what I'm doing.

Well, I already liked builder, but tagz has a fine way of circumventing
the problems that plague builder.

If I ever meet Ara, I'm buying him a pint!

Somebody made someone happy .

Regards,
Florian

I can see the family resemblance!

Still, I think I'd prefer to go with Tagz + the Namespace and processing
instruction support I proposed (or something similar).

Is there a reason you think this might be more suitable?

it ensures valid xml and supports some xml-ish stuff. otherwise i
just found it too constraining to use.
