PSHTML is a cross platform Powershell module to generate HTML markup language within a DSL.

PSHTML allow people to write a HTML document(s) using powershell-like syntax, which makes building webpages easier, and less cumbersome for 'native' powersheller's.

PSHTML offers the flexibility of the PowerShell language, and allows to add logic in powershell directly in the HTML structure. This open the possibility to add loops, conditional statements, switchs, functions, classes, calling external modules etc.. all that directly from the same editor.

PSHTML comes with a templating functionality which allows one to include parts of webpages that are identical throughout the web page Eg: footer, Header,Menu etc..

Using PSHTML, offers code completition and syntax highliting from the the default powershell langauge. As PSHTML respects the W3C standards, any HTML errors, will be spotted immediatly.

The following quick example displays a simple page, with a few headers, divs, paragraphs, and header elements

html {

    head{

        title "woop title"
        link "css/normalize.css" "stylesheet"
    }

    body{

        Header {
            h1 "This is h1 Title in header"
            div {
                p {
                    "This is simply a paragraph in a div."
                }
            }
        }


            p {
                h1 "This is h1"
                h2 "This is h2"
                h3 "This is h3"
                h4 "This is h4"
                h5 "This is h5"
                h6 "This is h6"
                strong "plop";"Woop"
            }
    }

}

The following example is a tribute to PowerShell GodFather 'Jeffrey Snover' where we generated a BIO of the ShellFather gathering data from Wikipedia and other sources, all that using Powershell.
