I have a program, that contains many tables, so I want to track them in log files when I debug the program. I want colored, formatted output so I thought I wrote it in HTML format. So what is the best way to create HTML files in C++?
The trivial way is so disgusting and error prone:
std::stringstream ret;
ret << "<TABLE BORDER=\"1\" CELLBORDER=\"0\">\n";
ret << " <TR>\n";
...
So I thought I wrote a HTML wrapper but I think there are so many for this reason.
I want a statically typed HTML wrapper in C++ with this syntax or similar:
CHtmlHtml Html;
Html <<
Body() % Id("1")
<< H1("My First Heading") <<
<< P("My first paragraph.");
or in this case
CHtmlTable table;
table % Border(1) % CellBorder(0) <<
Tr() <<
Td("Text") % Colspan(4);
Is there any similar project?
HTML and XML both use the same syntax, so you could just use a C++ XML library (such as TinyXML) to dynamically create all the nodes you need.
This page shows how to use TinyXML to build XML (or in your case, HTML) documents.
You may need to do some fiddling (such as removing the XML declaration at the top of the generated file), but I think you could create a wrapper for it somewhat easily.
