from xplant import xml_plant

x = xml_plant()
with x.node("section_a", attribute_1=1):
    with x.node("nested_1", empty=True):
        pass
    with x.node("nested_2"):
        x.comment("Can handle also comments.")
        for number in range(3):
            x.leaf("a_number_{:02}".format(number), num=number)

Will give:

.. code:: xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<section_a attribute_1="1">
  <nested_1 empty="true"></nested_1>
  <nested_2>
    <!-- Can handle also comments. -->
    <a_number_00 num="0" />
    <a_number_01 num="1" />
    <a_number_02 num="2" />
  </nested_2>
</section_a>

from xplant import html5_plant
