closing <script> tag generates invalid HTML about shakespeare HOT 9 CLOSED

is Hamlet actually supposed to allow closing tags?

from shakespeare.

yes, according to the book (http://www.yesodweb.com/book/templates). Please see "Syntax/Hamlet Syntax/Tags" section.

from shakespeare.

I think that only "inner" closing tags are allowed. Or do you see this
working with other tags besides script?

I will leave this ticket open as a reminder for Michael to make the
documentation a little more clear on this point.

I think I saw this working with other tags as well. Thanks for looking at
it.

@akonsu: Can you point out which sentence implied that closing tags would work? I'm actually not opposed to having Hamlet ignore closing tags when given on their own line, it might make things a little easier to work with. Any objections?

from shakespeare.

here is a quote:

<p>Paragraph <i>italic</i> end.

Notice that the first tag will be automatically closed by Hamlet, while the inner "i" tag will not. You are free to use whichever approach you want, there is no penalty for either choice.

I am not against allowing closing tags. But it seems that the point is it to allow copy-and-paste html. And I am wondering if we are better off offering a transformer that turns normal html into Hamlet. You would need at least the pretty-printing and white-space changes from the transformer anyways even if it didn't remove closing tags.

Partly i am scared by this example which isn't a good use case (and should be using the real javascript api also).

from shakespeare.

Good points. We already have html2hamlet, which should address that need. I think it makes sense to leave things as-is for now.

I added a relevant comment in the book
