Nice, thanks for sharing. Curious what your motivation was for making it. Perhaps include a "why" at the start of the repo. As evidenced by some comments, depending on whether the goal was to write HTML with a lisp compatible syntax, vs, a more concise but simple xml alternative, it creates different expectations. Personally I'm just interested from a parser/ compiler perspective.

You are quite correct, my goal appeared to be "Lisp interpreted HTML", my actual goal is "Write HTML tag trees easier".
