LineML

1. As the shortened HTML/XML

This is just a side effect of the main functionality (see the section #2).

For example, you can parse this:

#d(#z, #f(.item, .item, .item, .item, .item))

or this:

#d(#z, #f(.item:5))

and transform

auto result = lmlToHtml(input, LmlHtmlFormat.SPACES_4);

into this:

<div id="d">
    <div id="z"></div>
    <div id="f">
        <div class="item"></div>
        <div class="item"></div>
        <div class="item"></div>
        <div class="item"></div>
        <div class="item"></div>
    </div>
</div>

So, the language does not support

• custom attributes.

More examples

LineML:

#d(#z, #f(.qw, .item:2, #ds, .sdsdfs))

XML:

<div id="d">
    <div id="z"></div>
    <div id="f">
        <div class="qw"></div>
        <div class="item"></div>
        <div class="item"></div>
        <div id="ds"></div>
        <div class="sdsdfs"></div>
    </div>
</div>

LineML:

#d(#z, #f(.qw, .item:3(.asd)))

XML:

<div id="d">
    <div id="z"></div>
    <div id="f">
        <div class="qw"></div>
        <div class="item">
            <div class="asd"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="item">
            <div class="asd"></div>
        </div>
        <div class="item">
            <div class="asd"></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

2. Generating custom trees

You can parse your markup without making HTML.

LineMLNode result = lmlToNode!LineMLNode(input);

But the main purpose of the package is to use LineMLNode subclasses to generate the trees. Then, you can populate the objects and use them programmatically any way you want.
