Generating HTML

[Sebastian Bassi]

Hello,

What are people using these days to generate HTML? I still use
HTMLgen, but I want to know if there are new options. I don't
want/need a web-framework a la Zope, just want to produce valid HTML
from Python.
Best,
SB.

KID, Genshi, Mako. And a bazillion others. I prefer the first two ones
because the force you to use valid XML and produce HTML/XHMTL out of that.

There's also lxml.html, which has straight forward support for generating HTML
and comes with a lot of nice goodies for HTML handling:

Note that this requires lxml 2.0, which is currently in alpha status.

Other folks have suggested Mako, and that's an excellent option. But
I'd like to also suggest Brevé: a html DSL.

html [
head [
title [ 'A Brevé Template' ]
],

body [
h1 [ 'Briefly, Brevé' ], br,
div ( style = 'text-align: center;' ) [
span [ '''
As you can see, Brevé maps very
directly to the final HTML output.
''' ]
]
]
]

Spyce. Works fine server side (like PHP) and also run from the command line.
