Question: New html-tags

[eurostar77]

Hi, I can not find html "picture" tag in j2html. How can I write custom tags?

[sembler]

The simplest way is to create a ContainerTag with the appropriate tag name:

new ContainerTag<>("picture");

If you will be creating a picture tag in multiple places you can create static factory methods like j2html provides (and we will add this one in the near future):

public static ContainerTag<?> picture(DomContent... dc){ return new ContainerTag<>("picture").with(dc); }

Or you can create a complete class along with the factory method(s):

public static final class PictureTag extends ContainerTag<PictureTag> {
    public PictureTag() {
        super("picture");
    }
}

public static PictureTag picture(DomContent... dc){
    return new PictureTag().with(dc);
}

...

html(
    body(
        picture(
            source(),
            img()
        )
    )
);
