Less-Text-Markup-Language

Author : Apoorv Bedmutha

Less Text Markup Language is project with the motivation of creating an alternative to HTML without all the nonsense syntax.

traditional HTML has too much redundant and unnecessary strcturing that developer shouldn't be concerned with, It affects development speed as well as large HTML files become very difficult to understand Let us be honest here, nobody has ever been a fan of using angular brackets and
for new line.

LTML stands for Less Text Markup Language

and as the name states it writes large HTML codes with as less code as possible

for example

in ltml

doctype:4Strict

is equivalent to

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

in HTML

In similar fashion LTML considerably reduces syntactical load on the developer and helps him focus on more important stuff

Prerequisites

python3

Setup and Running the project:

download zip of the project and extract it
you may find index.ltml file
this is where you will write your ltml code
after writing run python file "mother.py" inside the Compiler folder
automatically an index.html file will be generated with all your expected code

Modules Added :

Doctypes
Eliminating Unnecessary Code Structure

Doctypes

First thing to consider are doctype declarations in html,they are a pain to remember,The most common and reliable doctype to use is

hence we will keep it as default i.e. it will be implemented if no doctype is specified. though the user must have a functionality to specify which doctype should he use,hence he can do it using the following syntax

doctype:5

which can be used for specifying HTML5 doctype i.e.<DOCTYPE html>

similarly, for HTML 4.01 Strict user can use

doctype:4Strict

for HTML 4.01 Transitional user can use

doctype:4Trans

for HTML 4.01 Frameset user can use

doctype:4Frameset

for XHTML 1.0 Strict user can use

doctype:XStrict

for XHTML 1.0 Transitional user can use

doctype:XTrans

for XHTML 1.0 Frameset user can use

doctype:XFrameset

for XHTML 1.1 - DTD user can use

doctype:XDtd

for XHTML Basic 1.1 user can use

doctype:XBasic

for MathML 2.0 - DTD user can use

doctype:Math2Dtd

for MathML 1.01 - DTD user can use

doctype:Math1Dtd

for XHTML + MathML + SVG - DTD user can use

doctype:Compound

Eliminating Unnecessary Code Structure

Since the aim is to help developer code with as less code as possible and make the whole experience easy and faster. We need to eliminate all the redundant structuring for e.g:

<html>
    <head>
        <title>
        </title>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
</html>

is going to be in your html file everytime so why should you be complied to write it everytime, Hence, LTML does that for you

Let me show you with an example:

The below code in LTML

title:Demo Ltml Project

will be equivalent to the below code in HTML:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title>
            Demo Ltml Project
        </title>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
</html>

in this way developer only needs to focus on what's actually important.
