Does it even check the document is valid HTML?

Otherwise I think a general-purpose XML or SGML document creation would be more useful.

Technically, it sounds like it's just an XML library. I believe the reason you can use it to write HTML is because of the syntactical similarities between XML and HTML. And if you look at the source (which is impressive 116 LOC, including white space) it doesn't do any syntax validation.

looking at the demo application, it doesn't know about HTML, just how XML should be structured. The application tells it about what tags you can use:
TAG(html,  NO_ATTRIBS);TAG(head,  NO_ATTRIBS);TAG(title, NO_ATTRIBS);TAG(body,  NO_ATTRIBS);TAG(p,     NO_ATTRIBS);TAG(a,     ATTRIB(href));TAG(img,   ATTRIB(src), ATTRIB(alt));

And the best of all is that it's a real license!

Just. Awesome.

From the readme:

XSMELL README-------------Congratulations! You have in your hands the MOST BRILLIANTEST C++ XML CREATION LIBRARY EVER CREATED.Have you ever needed to embed a quick snippet of HTML or XML in your C++ source code? Didn't you just hate having to use that obscure string concatenationsyntax?Well no more! With the advent of XSMELL you can now use regular XML syntaxdirectly in your source code, thanks to the reckless use of operator overloading, template meta-programming and preprocessor macros:


*** Source Snippet Removed ***

That's right! Thanks to XSMELL you'll no longer suffer from S-Expressionenvy. You've got one up on those Lisp guys now -- smug bastards!And you no longer have to worry about generating malformed XML! After spendinghours fighting obscure C++ compiler errors, you'll be 100% certain that your XML is correct.


I couldn't wait for April 1st to come around.

You can define the tags yourself, but it can't check particular "nesting patterns". However, you cannot assign a set of uneven tags to a xsmell::document as you'll get a compile-time assertion. In that sense, the XML is validated.

I know! I can hardly contain myself either!

Yes, I am particularly proud of the macro hackery needed to get that ATTRIB/NO_ATTRIBS stuff working. Have a look if you want to see awesome distilled in to it's purest form.

Thank you for your invaluable contribution! I have applied and uploaded your patch.

With such a syntax, it could perfectly do so at compile-time.
