HTMLgen docs, tutorial

[user@domain.invalid]

Checking out HTMLgen, I find the manual
to be quite terse, and difficult to crack.

Are there any examples or tutorials available
for this package?

Thanks,

Tobiah

Its quite easy: if you have a HTML-tag with included text,
just use the approriate class and pass the text as argument:

<p>hallo</p> becomes Para("hallo")

Headers take an additional argument, the level:

<h1>Head</h1> becomes H(1,"Head")

Nested tags are the same es nested function calls. Each tag
is a container and has an append()-method:

p = Para("hallo")
p.append("anoth er hallo")

Each tag-class ctor takes keyword arguments which become
tag arguments:

l = OrderedList(typ e='i')

creates an <ol type='i'> like list.

For further info look at the sources, esp. at the HTMLtest
module.

Thanks,

That helps quite a bit.

Then there are the document classes. Does one normally
just append element classes to a document and then ask
the document to print itself?

Thanks,

I have stripped one of my scripts to a more or less minimal example below:

doc = SimpleDocument( title"pageTitle ")
doc.meta = Meta(name="keyw ords",content=" Keywords")
row = TR()
row.append(TD(" text")),valign= "TOP",bgcolor=" #FFFFFF"),"\n")
doc.append(Tabl eLite(row))
doc.write("name .html"))

kind regards Gerrit

Unfortunately, that's all there is with the exception of a very small
section in the O'Reilly book, "Python Programming".
What I would like to know is, is HTMLgen still actively maintained. The
reason I ask is because I have added quite a bit of new stuff and I would
like to have my addition included in the main distro. I have tried emailing
the author but I have not receive a reply.
If anybody would be interested I could make my mods available of download
from my web site at http://www.rygannon.com or http://www.totalrekall.co.uk
