this projects bases on the Nemmet project of deanebarker at https://github.com/deanebarker/Nemmet
this library is ported from the .NET 4.5.2 (the old project from deanebarker) to a .NET Standard 2.0 library.
you can use this library in all .NET projects like .NET Core, .NET Legacy, Xamarin, etc.
install the lib from nuget: https://www.nuget.org/packages/de.lkraemer.nemmet
var code = "#my-panel.panel>.heading{Title}+.content{Content}+.footer";
// To get a nested List<NemmetTag>
// NemmetTag has a recursive ToHtml() method
var tags = NemmetTag.Parse(code);
// To get the HTML as a string (which just concats the results of ToHtml())
var html = NemmetParser.GetHtml(code)
Result:
<div id="my-panel" class="panel">
<div class="heading">
Title
</div>
<div class="content">
Content
</div>
<div class="footer"></div>
</div>
Read the Emmet syntax guide for the basics. Here the subset that Nemmet supports.
- Simple elements:
div
- Nested elements:
parent>child
- Sibling elements:
div1+div2
- The "climb up" operator:
parent1>child^parent2
- IDs:
div#id
- Classes:
div.class1.class2
- Attributes:
div[key=value]
- Multiple attributes:
div[key1=value1 key2=value2]
- Content
div{Some text}
- Default tag naming (though, the defaults need more definition)
- Repeating elements and auto-numbering (why would you need this at runtime?)
- Parentheticals/grouping (though, this is likely not far off -- I have a theory for it)
- Style abbreviations (not hard, but low on the priority list)
Nemmet is an homage to Emmet (Nemmet = "Not Emmet"...get it?), the HTML expansion language.
I wanted something in (1) a single file, (2) pure C#, and (3) source that I could debug through. It will never be as full-featured as Emmet. I'm hoping for maybe 75% on a good day.
