===========

Pure-Python HTML generation, inspired by [Hiccup][1].

```python

from cottonmouth.html import render

from cottonmouth.tags import html, head, body, title, meta, link, h1

def welcome(user=None, **context):

    return ['p', 'Welcome' + (' back!' if user else '!')]

content = (

    # Feel free to use raw HTML

    '',

    # Tags are represented as sequences with a tag name at the head

    [html,

        # Or just use strings instead of the default tag symbols

        ['head',

            [title, 'The Site'],

            # Attributes are passed as a dict immediately after the tag

            [meta, {'charset': 'utf-8'}],

            [link, dict(rel='stylesheet', type='text/css',

                        href='static/layout.css')]],

        [body,

            # You can also call tags as functions with the content as

            # the first argument and attributes as `kwargs`

            [header, h1(u'The Website', id='header')],

            # Use "#id.class" shortcuts to easily create `div` elements

            ['#map.pretty-map'],

            # Functions will be called with context and the results rendered

            ['#main', welcome]]]

)

render(*content, user=None)

```

Equivalent output:

```html

  The Site

  

  

  
Welcome to the site!

  


  


    
Welcome!

  


```

### Classes

There's a shortcut for dynamic classes: strings or iterables of classnames are automatically appended to the sugared classname!

```python

render(['.foo', {'class': 'bar baz'}])

# u'
'


render(['.foo', {'class': ['bar', 'baz']}])

# u'
'

```
