`GSP` (pronounced _gee ess pee_) is a transpiler to convert a nicer to write and more human-friendly syntax into valid HTML. Writing HTML can be made more bearable using things like Emmet, but it’s still not great, and the syntax is far too bloated, visually polluting your documents. `GSP` will never support templating or other useless features. If you need support for such things, just use a programming- or macro language such as Python or M4. ## Documentation Documentation for the transpiler can be found in the `gsp(1)` manual. Documentation for the language can be found in the `gsp(5)` manual. ## Why Not Use Pug or [INSERT LANGUAGE HERE] Simply put, they are all trash. Pug has decent syntax but requires you use JavaScript. All the others fall for the same kind of problem. As far as I could find, there is no pre-GSP transpiler from good syntax to HTML that works as just one binary you call on some files. All options force you into needing to write JavaScript/Ruby/etc. scripts, which just isn’t good enough. ## Syntax Example ```gsp html lang="en" { head { meta charset="UTF-8" {} meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" {} link href="/favicon.svg" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/svg" {} link href="/style.svg" rel="stylesheet" {} title {-My Website Title} } body { p #my-id {- This is a paragraph with the id ‘my-id’ } p .my-cls {- This is a paragraph with the class ‘my-cls’ } p #some-id .class-1 .class-2 key-1="value-1" key-2 = "value-2" {- This paragraph has an ID, two classes, and two additional attributes. GSP allows us to use the ‘#ident’ and ‘.ident’ syntaxes as shorthands for applying IDs, and classes. This is a text node, so nothing is being interpreted as GSP nodes, but we can include them inline if we want. As an example, here is some @em {-emphatic} text. Your inline nodes can also have attributes @em #id .cls {-just like a regular node}. } } } ``` ## Why The Name GSP? I was originally inspired by Pug, but my dog is a GSP, not a pug.
