HyperTextExpression

Same ol' C# with a different way to say what HTML you want.

using static HyperTextExpression.HtmlExp;

var html = HtmlDoc(
    ("body", Children(
        ("article",
            Attrs(
                ("class", "body"),
                ("show", "")
            ),
            Enumerable.Range(1, 6)
                .Select(i =>
                    ("p",
                        Attrs("class", "paragraph"),
                        $"Lorem Ipsum {i}")))))
);

html.ToString(); => <!DOCTYPE html>
                    <html>
                        <body>
                            <article class="body" show>
                                <p class="paragraph">Lorem Ipsum 1</p>
                                <p class="paragraph">Lorem Ipsum 2</p>
                                <p class="paragraph">Lorem Ipsum 3</p>
                                <p class="paragraph">Lorem Ipsum 4</p>
                                <p class="paragraph">Lorem Ipsum 5</p>
                                <p class="paragraph">Lorem Ipsum 6</p>
                            </article>
                        </body>
                    </html>

Within ASP.NET Core.

app.MapGet("/", () =>
    HtmlDoc(
        Body(
            ("h1", "Hello World")
        ))
        .ToIResult()
);

Motivation

Template straight in c#
No need to use/learn .cshtml Razor/View and then wait for things like email templating...
C# structure is MUCH easier to manipulate than an HTML string.

Custom Serialization

Implement IPrintHtml

public class MyPrintHtml : IPrintHtml
{
    public void Write(char c) => ...;
    public void Write(char c, int count) => ...;
    public void Write(ReadOnlySpan<char> chars) => ...;
}

Dump HtmlEl to your implementation of IPrintHtml

var html = HtmlDoc(
        Body(
            ("h1", "Hello World")
        ));
        
var myPrint = new MyPrintHtml();
        
IPrintHtml.To(html, myPrint);
