The smalltalk framework's Seaside and Illiad both contain the same as well. as a basic example from seaside: renderContentOn: html html heading level: 1; with: 'Hello World!'. creates <h1>Hello World</h1> More on how Seaside generates html can be found at: http://seaside.st/documentation/generating-html http://seaside.st/documentation/generating-html Here is an example from racket ( aka plt scheme ): (define (build-request-page label next-url hidden) `(html (head (title "Enter a Number to Add")) (body ([bgcolor "white"]) (form ([action ,next-url] [method "get"]) ,label (input ([type "text"] [name "number"] [value ""])) (input ([type "hidden"] [name "hidden"] [value ,hidden])) (input ([type "submit"] [name "enter"] [value "Enter"])))))) More ( and the proper formatting of the above ) can be seen at: http://docs.racket-lang.org/more/#(part.__.Hello_.World__.Server) http://docs.racket-lang.org/more/#(part.__.Hello_.World__.Se...

And there are also libraries in other languages as well. For eg: * There's Builders in Groovy (http://groovy.codehaus.org/Builders http://groovy.codehaus.org/Builders) * Markaby in Ruby (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markaby http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markaby) * and Markapl and Template::Declare in Perl (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Markapl http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Markapl & http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Template%3A%3ADeclare http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Template%3A%3ADeclare). Here is the snippet in blogpost using Markapl: div('.red') { p { "hello world" } } Also see related HN: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=705698 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=705698
