🏗️ Project Structure

TinyHTML uses a structured approach with separate folders for source and output:

my-project/
├── tinyhtml-views/     # Your .tml source files
│   ├── index.tml
│   ├── about.tml
│   └── ...
├── views/              # Compiled HTML files
│   ├── index.html
│   ├── about.html
│   └── ...
└── package.json

🚀 Quick Start

Initialize a new project

tinyhtml init

Compile your project

# Compile all .tml files from tinyhtml-views/ to views/
tinyhtml compile

# Or use npm scripts
npm run build

# Watch for changes
npm run watch

📖 Syntax Guide

Basic Tags

div: "Hello World"

↓ compiles to →

<div>Hello World</div>

Classes and IDs

div.container.main#content: "Content"

↓ compiles to →

<div class="container main" id="content">Content</div>

Attributes

input[type="text"][name="username"][required]

↓ compiles to →

<input type="text" name="username" required>

Nested Structure

html[lang="en"]:
  head:
    title: "My Page"
  body:
    h1: "Welcome"
    p: "This is a paragraph."

↓ compiles to →

<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <title>My Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome</h1>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
  </body>
</html>

Multiline Text

div: |
  This is line 1
  This is line 2
  This is line 3

↓ compiles to →

<div>
This is line 1
This is line 2
This is line 3
</div>

DOCTYPE Declaration

!DOCTYPE html

↓ compiles to →

<!DOCTYPE html>

🖥️ CLI Usage

Project Commands

# Initialize new project structure
tinyhtml init
