I am trying to use HStringTemplate for generating html tables, for use in http://happstutorial.com:5001 The best I could do is below. Seems awfully kludgy. Can someone suggest a better way, which keeps me inside the StringTemplate way of doing things? (Eg, no suggestions to use HTML.* libraries, which are nice for some things but are a higher barrier to entry than just jumping in and writing html.) Some kind of map structure... for each... ? Thanks for any help! thomas. {-# LANGUAGE NoMonomorphismRestriction #-} import Text.StringTemplate import Control.Applicative import qualified Text.PrettyPrint as PP main = putStrLn . PP.render . toPPDoc $ tableFromCells cells cells = [["mee","mah","moh"],["fee","fah","foh"]] -- This does generate an html table, but seems horribly obfuscated. -- is there machinery for doing things like html table generation -- in some better way than this hack where </end><start> -- tags are used as a separator? -- I would imagine something like -- newSTMP "$cells:{<td>$it$</td>}:{<tr>$it</tr>}:{<table>$it</table>}" -- which works a bit like a list comprehension tableFromCells cells = setAttribute "cells" cells . optInsertTmpl [("separator","</td><td>")] $ newSTMP "$cells:\ \{<tr><td>$it$</td></tr>}:\ \{<table>$it$</table>}$"
