This is not HTML. It isn’t even XML. It’s not as bad as designers putting “code” into ads, but it’s close.
Also, ever heard of XSLT?
I mean it’s valid XML
It’s just not useful
It isn’t valid XML. No root node.
We may just not see it but fair point
The line numbers show us that we’re seeing the whole file.
Oh ur right
Ew I didn’t notice
That’s awful
This reminds me of Apple plist files, which appear to have been invented by someone that doesn’t know how XML works.
Which is true for the majority of all XML files I’ve ever come across in the wild.
I recently had to work with XSLT (may it’s inventor burn in hell for their crimes).
That’s pretty much programming in XML. It’s probably the worst possible thing.
XSLT is fine
If you have a program generate it
Sadly, it was done manually. I had to migrate it to this brand new bleeding edge technology, Apache Velocity. That’s not great either, but it’s much less terrible than XSLT.
For that task I had to learn two templating languages at the same time to port it from one to the other. Wasn’t an easy task.
Pff. I know someone who generated programs using XSLT.
I will never understand how XML came into being when lisp already existed.
I don’t either)))))))))
