“Whitespace is not just a suggestion. It’s the law.”
— The Great HTMLython Specification, probably

Welcome to HTMLython™

Are you tired of all those annoying angle brackets? Do you wish HTML were more indented and opinionated about how you format your code? Have you ever looked at Python and thought, “Now that’s how you write a website”?

Introducing HTMLython™: the world’s first whitespace-driven, semantically volatile, browser-hostile web markup language.

The Syntax

Forget <div>. In HTMLython™, structure is determined entirely by indentation and vibes.

page:
  head:
    title: HTMLython™ is the future
  body:
    h1: Welcome to HTMLython™
    p: A new era of front-end development begins here
    nav:
      ul:
        li: Home
        li: About
        li: Cry
    img src="crying_inside.jpg" alt="developer despair"

That’s not a syntax error. That’s a lifestyle.

Features Nobody Asked For™

  • Strict whitespace control: Accidentally press Tab instead of Space? Boom — page renders as an NFT minting interface.
  • Context-aware chaos: Nest a p: tag inside ul:? Congratulations, you’ve created a philosophical paradox.
  • Self-closing tags are banned: All tags are closed by reducing indentation. Forget /. It’s over.
  • Comments are passive-aggressive:
# This section is fragile, like my will to debug CSS

Browser Support

HTMLython™ is proudly unsupported by all major browsers, but it does render perfectly inside the mind of that one senior developer who insists JavaScript is a fad.

We do, however, provide a transpiler that turns your HTMLython code into standard HTML, lovingly named:

htmlython-transpile --compliance-level: “I tried”

A Brief FAQ

  1. Q: Is HTMLython™ real?

    • A: As real as most crypto whitepapers.

  2. Q: Why do this?

    • A: Because someone had to. And because comedy is cheaper than therapy.

  3. Q: Does it support CSS?

    • A: Yes, but only written in haiku form.
style:
  body:
    font-family: sans
    background: soft moonlight gray
    margin: center

Conclusion

HTMLython™ isn’t just a markup language. It’s a declaration of independence from tags, angle brackets, and browser sanity. Join the revolution, where every indent counts and the spec is more of a mood than a document.

Feel free to fork the project I didn’t actually make and star it on GitHub to confuse your coworkers.

Stay weird, stay indented — and don’t forget to lint your whitespace before pushing to production.
