# HTML DSL

**Provides a DSL to build HTML for Android TextView**

License
Maven Central

### Description

There is a lovely method on the `android.text.Html` class, `fromHtml`, that converts HTML into a `Spannable` for use with a `TextView`.

However, the documentation does not stipulate what HTML tags are supported, which makes this method a bit hit-or-miss. This small library provides a DSL for building valid HTML for `android.widget.TextView`.

## Download

Download [the latest AAR](https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/com/jaredrummler/html-dsl/1.0.0/html-dsl-1.0.0.aar) or grab via Gradle:

```kotlin
implementation("com.jaredrummler:html-dsl:1.0.0")
```

## Structure

* `buildSrc` — Gradle dependencies, plugins, versions
* `library` - The HTML DSL library
* `library/src/test` - Unit tests for the library
* `demo` - Android demo project using HTML DSL
* `scripts` - Scripts to publish library to Maven

----------

## Usage

### Create HTML:

```kotlin
HTML.create {
h1("HTML DSL")
strong("Provides a DSL to build HTML for Android TextView")
}
```

### Set HTML on a `TextView`:

```kotlin
textView.setHtml {
h1("HTML DSL").br()
strong("Build valid HTML for Android TextView.").br().br()
h3("Android Versions:")
ul {
li {
a(href = "https://developer.android.com/about/versions/12/get") {
+"Android 12 Beta"
}
}
li("Android 11")
li("Android 10")
li("Pie")
li("Oreo")
li("Nougat")
li("Marshmallow")
li("Lollipop")
// ...
}

small {
sub {
+"by "
a {
href = "https://github.com/jaredrummler"
text = "Jared Rummler"
}
}
}
}
```

### Render HTML to a string

```kotlin
val htmlString = HTML.create {
p {
font(face = "monospace", color = "#3ddc84") {
unsafe {
+"Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua."
}
}
}
}.render(prettyPrint = true)
```

### Write HTML to a file:

```kotlin
HtmlRenderer(HTML.create {
small {
sub {
+"by "
a {
href = "https://github.com/jaredrummler"
text = "Jared Rummler"
