Rendering “singleton� tags in herml

Hypothetical Labs - kevin - December 17, 2008

I received an education today on haml’s handling of so-called “singleton” tags. These are tags which contain no body elements. Examples of singletons are tags like <br/> and <hr/>. herml treated all childless elements as singleton tags and rendered them as such. This creates problems…

Hypothetical Labs - kevin - December 13, 2008

I’ve had a bit of time to hack on herml and I’m happy to report good progress. The lexer and parser are now both written in Erlang. I figured out my problems with leex which allowed me to drop the C-based parser and write everything…

Hypothetical Labs - kevin - December 01, 2008

herml Progress
