h(html) ?

[rauchg]

jQuery style node initialization:

h('<p class="woot">', { style: { dynamic: val } })

[Raynos]

We avoided this because we didn't want to add the complexity of a html parser or a regex.

However:

var h = require('virtual-hyperscript')
h('p.woot', { style: { dynamic: val } })

Will work today, where the first argument is a CSS style selector thing.

[rauchg]

We don't need to support the entire HTML grammar though. This would make expressing attributes a lot easier i think.

[rauchg]

Also, why does virtual-dom have its own h/ directory? How is it different from virtual-hyperscript?

[rauchg]

I now see that the plan is to merge it.

[Raynos]

@guille I prematurely pulled virtual-hyperscript out, we do plan to merge them :)

[benlesh]

For the sake of developer ergonomics, is there any effort already under way to parse some sort of markup into a series of virtual-dom? It could be a useful build step for something like Grunt, Gulp or Brococli.

[rauchg]

should be trivial for you to generate it using the rxjs transformer
