The HTML helper can be used to generate nearly any HTML tag.

The HTML helper will return HTML5 tags but you can make it return XHTML compatible tags by defining the MAKO_XHTML constant.


Usage

The tag method can be used to generate nearly any HTML tag.

// Will print "<br>"

echo HTML::tag('br');

// Will print <span>Hello, world!</span>

echo HTML::tag('span', array(), 'Hello, world!');

// Will print <span id="foo" class="bar">Hello, world!</span>

echo HTML::tag('span', array('id' => 'foo', 'class' => 'bar'), 'Hello, world!');

The audio method generates HTML5 tags for audio files.

echo HTML::audio('http://example.org/file.mp3');

echo HTML::audio(array('http://example.org/file.mp3', 'http://example.org/file.ogg'));

The video method generates HTML5 tags for video files.

echo HTML::video('http://example.org/file.mp4');

echo HTML::video(video('http://example.org/file.mp4', 'http://example.org/file.ogg'));

The ul method generates HTML tags for an unordered list.

$items = array('apple', 'banana', 'orange');

echo HTML::ul($items);

echo HTML::ul($items, array('class' => 'my_list'));

// It also supports multi-dimensional arrays

$items = array('foo', 'bar', array('bar', 'foo'));

echo HTML::ul($items);

The ol method generates HTML tags for a ordered list.

$items = array('apple', 'banana', 'orange');

echo HTML::ol($items);

echo HTML::ol($items, array('class' => 'my_list'));

// It also supports multi-dimensional arrays

$items = array('foo', 'bar', array('bar', 'foo'));

echo HTML::ol($items);

The macro method allows you to register custom tag methods.

HTML::macro('p', function($content, array $attributes = array())
{
	return HTML::tag('p', $attributes, $content);
});

// Will print <p>Hello</p>

HTML::p('Hello!');

// Will print <p class="foo">Hello</p>

HTML::p('Hello!', array('class' => 'foo'));
