I would appreciate feedback from some haskellers. Are there any limitations are drawbacks to such a syntax, or is it just different? Does this appeal to you more hamlet? Will this make a convert out of anybody who runs away screaming when they see a hamlet template?

I took some time to "get" Hamlet's syntax. While Hamlet (and Yesod as a whole) is really great, I find those %s just plain ugly. Your proposal seems to be better and looks more like HTML without losing conciseness. Personally I would probably close all tags, including those that do not have text on the same line, but I don't want a bike shed around this point =). Cheers! -- Felipe.
