Let's simplify coding with html

[manasdeep borole]

Hi Everyone,

I know coding could get tough sometimes(experienced it).

But thanks to amazing people like you and per built framework like Django.

At least not everyone has to know everything now.

The Open Source support is amazing as well.

Thanks a lot.

Last time while working with html I was annoyed by the syntax. 

You have to deal with so many end tags they tend to confuse you.

eg 

NOW...

<div class="upper">

<div class='middle'>

<div class='lower'>

this is most inner class

</div>

this is quite outer class

</div>

this is most outer class

</div>

With Improvement

div class='upper':

    div class='middle':

        div class='lower':

            "this is most inner class

         "this is quite outer class"

    "this most outer class"

advantages:

1. Python like indentation
2. simple to read (developer/debugger friendly)
3. 50% lowers the chances of mistake while coding (most errors happen because coders forget end tags with html)
4. no end tags required
5. supports python based logic building like use of for, if....
6. programers are free to let computer do the repetitive tasks like logic based id for multiple div with similar functionality 
7. plans to support direct support for bootstrap( working on it)

disadvantages:

1. needs time and effort to build such a system
2. expert support and guidance may be needed
3. adoption time and some effort on part of programmers 

If someone could mentor me I am willing to build on this Idea

Actually I have built a basic version.

I understand you would have a lot of requests for GSOC application.

Can someone guide me if this Idea could be made into a GSOC proposal.

If you have any suggestion or ideas to make this project better you are most welcome.

Thank you 

For your 'time' and 'consideration'

Hello,

There are several projects providing alternate syntax for generating HTML, along the lines of your suggestion, and other projects for integrating these with Django. Here's one such project: https://github.com/nyaruka/django-hamlpy. I believe we're happy with this functionality being provided by third-party projects. As a consequence this doesn't seem likely to be accepted for GSoC.

Thanks 

But it seems there is no support for bootstrap (at least not directly)

Or may be I am missing something....

Please feel free to point out...

I think it's unclear to me what you mean by "support for bootstrap".

Bootstrap is, after all, a CSS library [with some JS tools for complex widgets].

It looks like the syntax example you gave supports specifying classes [and likely other attributes] on elements, so using Bootstrap with that is a matter of including the CSS file, and adding the classes.
