## This module implements a simple `XML`:idx: and `HTML`:idx: code 
## generator. Each commonly used HTML tag has a corresponding macro
## that generates a string with its HTML representation.
##
## Example:
##
## .. code-block:: nimrod
##   var nim = "Nimrod"
##   echo h1(a(href="http://force7.de/nimrod", nim))
##  
## Writes the string::
##   
##   <h1><a href="http://force7.de/nimrod">Nimrod</a></h1>
##
