The dialect would be an interface to the HTML objects.
The dialect must be reflective of everything you can do in HTML.
The objects make it easier to generate HTML
table things like 90 day calendars or 1 year calendar.
Does the dialect allow you to embed or recurs several levels of tables?
Example: tables inside of tables inside of tables?
This already works with my code today and is very easy.
Providing a dialect interface to a set of robust object models would make it
even easier.
The robust object model
table1: new-table "90 day Calendar"
table-A: new-table "January"
table-B: new-table "February"
table-C: new-table "March"
; code here to fill in calendars
; shows 90 days at a glance on the web-page
table1/append-row [ (table-A/self-gen) (table-B/selfgen) (table-C/self-gen) ]
; fill in 4 more rows and you can display the whole year.
This is just one "real world" example.

I find this too. Usually it comes with greater understanding.

what? Do you know how to improve it??
Turn it into a dialect, perhaps?
