Parse html to j2html tool

[ijabz]

An idea, in many cases I can imagine people retrofitting their code to use j2html rather than their previous method. I have html created without j2html, it would be great if i could pass some rendered html which would then generate the j2html java code needed to create it from j2html instead.

Yes, this is the reason it's a bad fit for bootstrap, since you need to convert a lot of html to j2html. There was an issue for creating a conversion tool a few years back, but no one seemed interested in working on it.

I came up with this, this evening. It's very basic but functional. Posting here in case it is useful to others: https://github.com/rupert654/j2html-generator

Nice work rupert! It would be nice to have a JavaScript version that could be run in the browser, but I suppose I could create a web service for it.
