HTML Generation system

Let's start with an example:

doctype( -- Always start with the doctype
  tag"head"( -- Put your tags here.
    tag"title"("Hello World!")
  ),
  tag"body"( -- To put more than one tag in an existing tag, just put a comma after the inside tag and write your other tag after that.
    tag"h1"("Hello!"),
    tag"a"[{href="http://vifino.de/"}]("Link to my page!"), -- Supply arguments like that.
    link("http://vifino.de/")("Another link to my page!") -- Same thing as above, with a small helper function.
  )
)

This template language can be used both in static and dynamic configuration.
