Leo<HTML>
is a HTML precompiler for static page generation.
When I created my homepage I had the problem that HTML
is a very simple document language. I missed many features
of a real programming language. The compiler solves some of
these problems.
The idea behind
Leo<HTML>
is to create new HTML tags. These
tags will be detected and processed by the compiler.
Maybe you wanna see an example:
Example
Define a simple tag:
<define name=mail PAR_1_STRING=to>
function mail( to ) {
print( "<a href=\"mailto:\"" + to + "\">" + to + "</a>" );
}
</define>
Calling the tag:
That's my email address: <mail to=kingleo@gmx.at>.

- Who should use
Leo<HTML>
?
-
I'm a programmer. I can't stand HTML. It's to simple. So I created this
application.
But it's not necessary to be a programmer to use
Leo<HTML>
. You should
known HTML and if you wan't to create larger pages you should be
common with Java Script. That's all.
And of course, you should be able to create a webpage without a
WYSIWYG tool. Of course, if you wan't you can create a page first
with such a tool, to use its output as the base for your project
with
Leo<HTML>
. But I think that makes not much sense.
- Can I use
Leo<HTML>
for dynamic page genearation like php?
-
Leo<HTML>
was never designed for dynamic page generation. If you write a
apache module it would be possible, but the compiler will be to slow.
Use it for what is was created for: static page generation.
- Why should I use
Leo<HTML>
and not WML instead?
-
The difference between WML and
Leo<HTML>
is that WML uses a
meta language and
Leo<HTML>
simply tries to extend HTML.
Of course the output will be the same, but it is your choise
which one of the tools you wan't to use.
In fact
Leo<HTML>
is smaller and maybe a little bit easier
to use than WML. For very large projects WML will be your tool.
I think
Leo<HTML>
is better for the small stuff. But as you can see
on this page and first of all on the documentation as on
King Leo
's webpage,
large projects are possible too.
But on both systems, if you do not use a strict design for webpage generation,
you will have many problems.
