Question

In python, what is the most elegant way to generate HTML documents. I currently manually append all of the tags to a giant string, and write that to a file. Is there a mor

Answer 1

I find yattag to be the most elegant way of doing this.

from yattag import Doc

doc, tag, text = Doc().tagtext()

with tag('html'):
    with tag('body'):
        with tag('p', id = 'main'):
            text('some text')
        with tag('a', href='/my-url'):
            text('some link')

result = doc.getvalue()

It reads like html, with the added benefit that you don't have to close tags.
