ChubML

ChubML (Chub Markup Language) is a lightweight markup language designed to simplify the process of creating websites. It provides a simplified syntax that allows for rapid and efficient development.

Features

• Intuitive Indentation: The indentation in ChubML is used to define the hierarchical structure of elements, making it easy to understand the relationships between parent and child elements.

• Easy Attribute Declaration: Attributes in ChubML are denoted by the '%' symbol. Simply prefix an attribute name with '%' to assign it to an element. For example, %class=example-class sets the class attribute to example-class.

• Data Attributes: ChubML supports data attributes using the '$' symbol. Data attributes are automatically prefixed with 'data-', making it convenient to assign custom data to elements. For example, $custom-attr=value sets the data-custom-attr attribute to value.

• Comments: Comments in ChubML are denoted by the '//' symbol. You can add comments to your code to provide explanations or make notes without affecting the rendering of the webpage.

• Scripts: ChubML supports script inclusion using the '{=' and '=}' delimiters. You can import external scripts by specifying the script's source within the delimiters. For example, {= src="script.js" =} imports the script from the 'script.js' file.

• Class and ID: To define classes and IDs in ChubML, use the '.' and '#' symbols, respectively. For example, div .example-class #unique-id creates a div element with the class example-class and the ID unique-id.

Getting Started

To start using ChubML, follow these steps:

1. Create an HTML file and include the ChubML script.

     <script src="chubml.js"></script>

2. Write your web page content using ChubML syntax, defining the structure and attributes of the elements.

     html;
       head;
         // Add meta tags, title, and external resources here.
       //
       
       body;
         // Add your page content here using ChubML syntax.
         // Indentation and symbols like '.', '#', '%', and '$' will help define the elements.
       //
     //
   
   

3. Create a script to execute one of the selection of Chub Functions which can be used to parse a page.

   Here's an example!

       // var chubLocation = "html"
   
       var chubDev = true
       
       var input = `
       
       html;
         // HEADER
         head;
           meta %charset=utf-8;
           meta %name=viewport %content=width|edevice-width;
           meta %name=msapplication-TileColor %content=#ff8800;
           meta %name=theme-color %content=#ff8800;
           
           title;
             "Chub Syntax! | Home";
           
           link %href=tempPage/style.css %rel=stylesheet %type=text/css;
           
           link %sizes=180x180 %rel=apple-touch-icon %href=tempPage/apple-touch-icon.png;
           link %sizes=32x32 %rel=icon %type=image/png %href=tempPage/favicon-32x32.png;
           link %sizes=16x16 %rel=icon %type=image/png %href=tempPage/favicon-16x16.png;
           link %href=tempPage/site.webmanifest %rel=manifest;
           link %href=tempPage/safari-pinned-tab.svg %rel=mask-icon %color=#ff8800;
         //
         
         // BODY
         body;
           nav;
             div .navHold;
               div .navTitle;
                 h2;
                   "CHUBML - CML";
               span .pipeDiv;
                 "|";
               div .navCont;
                 a .link-url %href=template.js;
                   "Template File";
                 
                 span .pipeDiv;
                   "|";
                   
                 a .link-url %href=style.css;
                   "Template Style";
       
           article .descArticle;
           
           // Sick!
           // So comments work!
           
             h3;
               "Welcome to the";
               span;

             hr;
             br;
             
             p;

             br;
       
           chub.funnybox;
           // 
       
         {=
           alert('hey!')
         =}
         
       `;
       
       var chubstart = () => {
         // injectChub(input)
         ChubRep(input)
       }
       
       var chubinjected = (locationGot) => {
         console.log(locationGot, "lol")
       }
   

Functions.

They are usually sorted in these three prefixes:

• CHUB: important, and the main program. does not change DOM.
• chub: Events called after certain Chub operations complete.
• Chub: Functions which will usually preform changes or operations on the page. It will sometimes come AFTER a word: eg. injectChub, but not ChubRep. Usually calls events like: chubinjected or chubstart

There are 3 functions right now:

• CHUBparse: Turns text into chub.

• injectChub: Injects Formatted Chub into DOM at the variable chublocation if it exists, or a Chub tag. If all else fails, it will replace the body contents.

  • Calls the chubinjected function.

• ChubRep(doc [[INPUT]], quirky = "<!DOCTYPE html>"): replaces the whole document with Chub.

Examples

Here are a few examples to showcase the ChubML syntax:

Creating a div element with a class and an ID:

div .example-class #unique-id;

Adding a link with a URL and text content:

a .link-url %href="https://example.com";
  "Visit Example.com";

Defining a script import:

{= src="script.js" =}

or:

{= 
  src="script.js" 
=}

I have now understood ChubML, Example:

html;
  head;
    // Header content.
  body;
    "Hey";
    // Body content.

This is the equivalent to:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    
  </head>
  <body>
    Hey
  </body>
</html>
