I'm leaving this pull request open for a bit to promote discussion on the new format.

Just my opinion, I'm not a big fan of using a slash as a line terminator. I feel like a \n should be good enough there. Also with the div, I would prefer syntax such as

div:
    p > Element here

using whitespace and indents to show where the div starts and stops. Also, note the colon, so you can see where the nested element starts.

I think I’ll work on implementing the colon, but I’m not sure about removing the line terminator. I think it’s important to have a symbol to indicate the end of a tag, and HTML does already use / in the closing tag, so I feel like it fits.

I think it’s important to have a symbol to indicate the end of a tag,

Considering that you say in the readme that only a single tag is allowed on each line, it would make more sense that the newline becomes the terminator.

My only other thing is that the / is a weird character to use at the end of the line/tag, it feels like it should continue the line on (like it does in javascript strings)
