Yikes! What a mess!
Well, I've updated my TagWriter class to allow much more readable code, and
give a fair measure of control.
For example:
from TagWriter import *
p = HTML(HEAD(TITLE('my page here')),
BODY(H1('some heading'),
P('a paragraph'),
TagParm('parm1'),
P('another paragraph'),
TABLE(attr(cellspacing='2', cellpadding='3', border='1'),
TR(TD('top left'), TD('top right')),
TR(TD('bottom left'), TD('bottom right')))
))
p.dump(parm1 = 'hi there\n')
Note the class 'TagParm' - this allows TagWriter to be used as a templates
library. Also the class 'attr' which is used to define tag attributes.
Also note that HTML, HEAD, BODY etc are each subclasses of TagWriter, which is
a subclass of HTMLTag
The class and the above demo are available from

Phew! Now to add a mysql back end, and PHP-Nuke is history!
