Hello,
i want to add a small javascript snippet to the page i generate with yattag, but it's unclear if yattag supports that at all

Can i do that? if so, how?

thanks!!

Hello,
sorry for the late reply to this question.
Yes, it's possible but there's not really something specific to Yattag here. Just generate a correct HTML document containing a <script> tag and that will work.

The following code does not generate a script tag for me

    with tag('html'):
        with tag('head'):
            doc.tag('script', src='https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js')

The above code generates

<html>
    <head></head>
</html>

Use doc.stag instead of doc.tag.
stag is used to generate a self closing tag. That's probably what you want here.
tag is used to open a tag and you need to use the with keyword with it (with tag(...): ...)

stag generates <script /> but <script></script> is what is really needed.
