Hello! I’ll try to explain what I’m looking for: I sometimes have to write simple web pages (not just text, also buttons and video players and so on), but I really really hate writing html code. What I’m used to is QML, which I like a lot, because of the ease of placing objects exactly where I need using the anchors and the Layout objects. What I’m looking for is a language or something with a similar syntax, that can then be “built” to plain HTML/CSS/JS. Is there something like this? I know I can compile Qt/QML for webassembly, but I’m having huge amounts of problems, and also I’d like to have the possibility to have a plain HTML result, not necessary bind to the server side.

thanks in advance!!

    I’m not 100% on what you’re after. But in a past life I set up an XSL stylesheet to transform an XML file into a website via Php. it’s feasible you could set something similar up. XSL/XPath as a query language is really slick and similar to CSS, as templating language it’s not amazing but might suit your case.

    Somehow it’s still going so it really shows that technical debt is forever.
