Detailed Description

Namespace for helpers used for HTML generation.

Main idea is to avoid generating HTML using raw strings, which is error prone and difficult to read and maintain. One source of errors is forgetting to escape special characters, such as "<" or "&", and html::text class helps with this by providing from() function doing it automatically.

Another one is forgetting to close a tag (or closing a wrong one) and while html::text is too low level to help with this, html::element can be used for structured HTML generation, which guarantees that the result is well-formed. By using predefined constants in html::tag and html::attr namespaces, typos in the element names can also be automatically avoided.
