Html to Falco mark-up

[AlbertoDePena]

Is there a website to convert html to Falco mark-up? Not sure if there is one for giraffe or oxpecker. That would be super handy to drive adoption.

Thanks for this library btw.

That's a great question.

I wonder what the best way to do this would be? Naively I want to say something like AngleSharp to create a syntax tree from the markup, and project these into Falco markup.

Sorry for the delay. I will start using your fantastic DSL in some internal apps at work. I think its a must to have a HTML-to-Falco-DSL converter. Here is the code.

Im sure its needs a few tweaks here and there. Let me know if you want to host this in your GitHub page or I can do it.

No need to be sorry at all! That's life! I can't access the link. But I think it's a neat idea! I am curious how you pulled it off. I've been thinking we could use JavaScript, recurse the DOM and transcode the HTML elements.

Give the link another shot!

@pimbrouwers I was thinking about forking this and changing a few things. Maybe renaming the package to FSharp.Html.Dsl to make it library-agnostic and publishing it to Nuget. Are you ok with that?

I want to remove some of the "nice to have" utility methods and make this library generate true HTML nodes. That makes converting HTML to this DSL very straight forward.

Amazing! Please by all means! Let me know if I can help in any way.
