NAME

htag — Create html in the shell

SYNOPSIS

htag tag-name [--attr-name attr-val]... [text-content]...

DESCRIPTION

Create HTML tags and attributes in the shell.

The first argument must be the name of the tag. All other non-flag arguments are inserted into the tag as text content.

If the tag name is the only non-flag argument, then text is read from the STDIN.

Long flags are automatically converted into attributes, and all consume one argument as the attribute value.

Prints the created tag to the STDOUT.

OPTIONS

-h

Prints a help message.

--

Parse flags like text after this is read.

RETURN CODES

0

Returned on success.

1

Returned when no tag name is provided.

2

Returned when an attribute is not given a value.

$ htag p ""

$ htag a "An anchor tag" --href "https://foobar.baz"
