Triple-M

Triple-M (Minimal Markup with Macros or MMM) is a markup language with the goal of simplifying the process of coding an html page by automating certain components like <meta> tags and fancy parameters and adding those in on the processing stage

Usage

To install the package:

npm install --save-dev triple-m

an example on how to compile your webpages would be

mmmc index.html

however, you can learn to use it more fluently by running mmmc -h or just mmmc

Syntax

Each line of code should follow more or less this structure

(spaces)[element] (properties) (;) : (Text)

• (spaces) - The spaces (NOT INDENTS) tell the code how many layers into the code you are and how many times to close if you have tag after tag.
• [element] - This is the element of what you are closing your code in. (<element>)
• (properties) - These are the properties of the tag. you can put as many as you want as you were to apply in.
  • .[class] transforms into class="[class]"
  • #[id] transforms into id="[id]"
• ; is an optional tag, that means that you wish to close the element on the same line.
  • This can also be place as any element before the colon sign and after the element but for intended practices, I suggest as the last component before the colon.
• : is currently mandatory as it currently tells the compiler that is all the information for the element, however this will hopefully change in the future
• (Text) - Whatever text you wish to put in between.

There are also exception commands, but these are documented in the wiki, or can be seen in the example below.

Example

Here is an example script:

title ; : Website Title
// This is a Comment

// You do not need quotation marks when referring to a file
SCRIPT js/script.js
// You can even hard embed scripts directly into the html page with EMBED
CSS css/style.css EMBED

// the line below indicates that you are splitting between the head and body tags
// If the line is there, then it will not create a full html file.
---

nav .navbar :
 a .navbar-brand : Example Page :D

div .container :
 h1 ; : Is there bootstrap installed in this page?
 b : nope! but it's kinda funny I guess lol
