I don't think I've seen any such tools. In general, it is not very common to create large static sections of the DOM using the web2py HTML helpers. They are more useful when you need to generate DOM programmatically (e.g., input some form configuration parameters and automatically produce a form DOM, such as how SQLFORM works) -- in that case, though, you would be writing a function to generate the DOM, not merely parsing some existing HTML and converting it to web2py helper code.
What exactly are you trying to achieve? Why do you want to convert that HTML markup to web2py helper code? Note, if you just want to parse some existing HTML into a helper *object *that can then be manipulated (rather than producing actual helper *code*), you can use the parsing functionality of the TAG helper as described here: http://web2py.com/books/default/chapter/29/05/the-views#Parsing Anthony On Monday, July 13, 2015 at 9:20:48 AM UTC-4, LoveWeb2py wrote: > > Hi Stifan, > > Thank you for replying.
