TML: One step closer to S-expression markup

https://github.com/judnich/TupleMarkup#readme

What does /anus/ think? Personally, I don't like the |, but some people may think it makes the language more human readable.

Isn't the parser a bit too long? How long is an actual S-expression parser in C?

_{Found it after clicking /r/programming accidentally in a comment section of some gay website I don't want to share.}

Nesting Delimiter

The bar | delimiter creates a nested tuple out of each section it separates. For example:

[ position | 1 2 3 ]

is equivalent to:

[ [position] [1 2 3] ]

NO THANKS

Why the fuck is it so hard to make HTML use actual S-expressions with parentheses? Why won't these Redditors cut the fucking crap already?

Why? Why?

How do you distinguish between attributes and nested tags, huh?

attributes
Back to the W3C, Shlomo.

By not using useless cruft like attributes.

It's not hard to convert S-exps to HTML.

My solution is to treat symbols as tag and attribute names, and strings as text nodes and attribute values.

(tag-name attr1-name "attr1 value" attr2-name "attr2 value" "text node 1" "text node 2" (tag2-name ...))

An element is either a list or string (text node). If the element is a list, it must start with a symbol (the tag name). If the next element is a symbol, it's an attribute, and must be followed by a string, its value. If the next element is not a symbol, then it's a nested element.

I haven't found any limitations to this approach, other than all attributes must have values.

Elegant as fuck.

I love your posts! I read them 5 times! Please POST MORE.

There's something I've always wondered.

If I want to make something like what >>8-san did, I'd have to do it like this:


[b]
[i]
    [o]
    POST
    [/o]
   
    [o]
    [u]
      < space
    [/u]
    [/o]

    [u]
    MORE
    [/u]
[i]


to achieve the wanted result.

Would it be possible to avoid the repetition? Something like

(b.i
    (o "POST" (u " ") MORE)
)
would explode not-gracefully with most parsers. I can't really think of any other way of avoiding this. Maybe HTML allows that?

Yes, HTML allows that.

Please <b><i><span style="text-decoration:overline">POST<u> </span>MORE</u></i></b>

HTML > S-exprs?

I hate HTML. Gopher Text and SQL is better.
