Syntax extension for HTML or SVG tree creation.
To choose actual XML-implementation you have to provide a module named Html (or Svg):
For example, the following code:
let open Tyxml in
<< <html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body><h1>plop</h1></body>
</html> >>
)is a caml value of type
Html_types.html Html.elt
.
In the following, Html is assumed to be an HTML implementation, such as Tyxml.Html, but this could for example also be Eliom's Eliom_content.Html.F.
To compile a module containing this syntax, you need the camlp4 preprocessor:
ocamlfind ocamlc -package tyxml.syntax -syntax camlp4o -c your_module.mlor
ocamlc -pp "camlp4o -I <path/to/tyxml> pa_tyxml.cmo" -c your_module.mlYou can insert OCaml expressions of type
'a Html.elt
inside html using
$...$
, like this:
let oc = << <em>Ocsigen</em> >> in
<< <p>$oc$ will revolutionize web programming.</p> >>You can insert OCaml expressions of type string inside HTML using
$str:... $
, like this:
let i = 4 in
<< <p>i is equal to $str:string_of_int i$</p> >>If you want to use a dollar in your page, just write it twice.
You can write a list of HTML expressions using the syntax
<:htmllist<...>>
, for example:
<:htmllist< <p>hello</p> <div></div> >>Here are some other examples showing what you can do:
<< <ul class=$ulclass$ $list:other_attrs$>
$first_il$
$list:items$
</ul> >>Warning: lists antiquotations are allowed only at the end (before a closing tag). For example, the following is not valid:
<< <ul $list:other_attrs$ class=$ulclass$>
$list:items$
$last_il$
</ul> >>The syntax extension is not allowed in patterns for the while.
Additionnaly, you may use svg or svglist .
