pyml
pyML (Python Markup Language) is a markup language that uses Python Similar Syntax and Indentation Style. pyML is interpreted to HTML code.

pyML (Python Markup Language) is a markup language that uses Python Similar Syntax and Indentation Style.
pyML is interpreted to HTML code.
Install
pyML can be installed with npm using the command below.
npm i -g pyml
Usage
After Installing pyML,
Create a directory for your new pyML Project and cd into the directory.
Then run pyML on the directory with parameter '-s' to spinup a local server on port 4200.
mkdir mypymlapp
cd mypymlapp
pyml -s
pyML takes 2 parameters
pyml <directory> -s
omiting the directory will make pyML run on the current directory. '-s' makes pyML run a special server with live reload feature.
When pyml is running.
It keeps watching for .pyml files and once a .pyml file is modified,
pyML will create a .html file corresponding to the .pyml file name and interpret the pyML code to HTML code.
This means,
if a file named 'index.pyml' is modified,
pyML creates a file named 'index.html' or overides the file if it already exists.
pyML
pyML's syntax is very simple and straight forward. I will use a pyML and HTML example to explain the syntax.
Tag
To create a tag in pyML we only use the name of the tag eg div,br,h1,h2,etc.
It does'nt matter if it's a Single Tag or not.
And we use indentation for organizing tags for knowing parent tags and child tag.
pyML
html
title > My Web Site
body
h1 > My Website
hr
h1 > Welcome to my Website
br
h1 > How can i help you?
HTML
<html>
<title>My Web Site</title>
<body>
<h1>My Website</h1>
<hr>
<h1>Welcome to my Website</h1>
<br>
<h1>How can i help you?</h1>
</body>
</html>
innerHTML
To add an innerHTML to a tag or content of a tag we use a (Greater Than Symbol) '>' followed by a space and then the content of the tag.
Eg
pyML
html
title > My Web Site
head
script src="script.js"
link rel="stylesheet", href="style.css"
body > Hello World!
HTML
<html>
<title>My Web Site</title>
<head>
<script src="script.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css">
</head>
<body>Hello World!</body>
</html>
We can also add muiltiline innerHTML content.
pyML
html
body
h1 > /
Am a muiltiline text!
Am a muiltiline text!
Am a muiltiline text!
/
HTML
<html>
<body>
<h1>
Am a muiltiline text!
Am a muiltiline text!
Am a muiltiline text!
</h1>
</body>
</html>
pyML
html
body
h1 > /
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
/
HTML
<html>
<body>
<h1>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
</h1>
</body>
</html>
We use a '/' after '>' to start a muiltiline text and also ends it on a line with '/'. '/' can be escaped with another '/' to make pyML not stop the muiltiline there.
pyML
html
body
h1 > /
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
//
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
/
HTML
<html>
<body>
<h1>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
/
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
<b>Am a muiltiline text!</b>
</h1>
</body>
</html>
Note: Having an innerHTML does not mean a tag can not have children.
pyML
html
body > Am a parent!
p > Am a child!
br
p > Am a child!
HTML
<html>
<body>Am a parent!
<p>Am a child!</p>
<br>
<p>Am a child!</p>
</body>
</html>
Attributes
To add an attribute to a tag or attributes,
We need to specify them after the tag name in this format.
tagname attribute="value", attribute2="value", attribute3="value" > innerHTML
For this to work,
We have to use double quotes for the values and seperate the attributes with a comma.
We can not use string escaping in the value.
We also can not have only attributes and no value.
In HTML,
We can have tags like.
<button id="login" onclick="login()" disabled>Login</button>
As you can see from the HTML code above,
There is a single attribute 'disabled' in the HTML code.
This can not be done in pyML,
You have to provide the value like in code below.
button id="login", onclick="login()", disabled="true" > Login
If any error is detected in a tag's attribute,
The tag will be ignored by pyML.
Special Tags
pyML has some special tags you can use to do special things.
@comment
@comment just like the name implies is used to add comments to our pyML code.
Note: This comments will not be interpreted to HTML comments.
pyML
html
body
@comment("Body Content Goes here")
h1 > Hello World!
HTML
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
@param
@param is used to declare key to value type of variable.
@param only accepts string as key and value.
It is used in conjunction with @import.
pyML
@param("name","John Doe")
@import
@import is used to import another .pyml code into the current code.
You can have .pyml codes as components of your HTML UI and import them and reuse.
Example
index.pyml
html
body
h1 > Hello, Visitor
@param("brand","Shopify")
@param("promocode","CLOTH2022")
@import("welcome.pyml")
welcome.pyml
h1 > Welcome to {{brand}}
div
h2 > {{brand}} got you covered?
h3 > get good clothes for a good prize only on {{brand}}.
p > Use The Promo code
b > {{promocode}}
index.html
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello, Visitor</h1>
<h1>Welcome to Shopify</h1>
<div>
<h2>Shopify got you covered?</h2>
<h3>get good clothes for a good prize only on Shopify.</h3>
<p>Use The Promo code <b>CLOTH2022</b></p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
