Hi,

By Xhtml, do you mean the xhtml package on hackage [1] ?

Maybe to get you started:

$ ghci
Prelude> :m + Text.XHtml.Strict
Prelude Text.XHtml.Strict> putStrLn . prettyHtmlFragment $ p (primHtml
"hello") ! [theclass "foo"]
<p class="foo">
   hello
</p>

The idea is to create values of type Html, e.g. primHtml, combine them
to make bigger document, e.g. with p or (+++), possibly with some
attributes, e.g. with (!), then eventually render the final Html
value, e.g. with prettyHtmlFragment.

Try it in ghci!

HTH, cheers
Thu
