I've written something you might like. It can do both open/closing tags and by indentations. http://www.trinhhaianh.com/NEST.html It looks like this: \html < \h1 title \==== \====< This is a comment but can be used decoratively, like the one under the \\h1 > \div[class=content]: \p You may close off the tags by indentation (notice the ":"). \blockquote: Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different. — T.S. Eliot, The Sacred Wood \p You can do inline \b<bold text>, \code<\em<λ>x. x+1>. \p I personally when you can nest arbitrary tags after each other (hence the name), e.g. \footer \div[style="float: right"] \p Yours truly > I have written the parsers using PLY (Python lex/yacc), which can output HTML or ElementTree: http://github.com/aht/nest -- @chickamade
