- fast_html is a fast, minimalist HTML generator alternative to templating engines like Jinja.
- Pros: uses familiar Python syntax, efficient concatenation techniques, and optional automatic indentation.
- Unlike other HTML generators, fast_html uses string generators for faster rendering via 'join'.
- Tag names and attributes may require trailing underscores (e.g., 'class_', 'for_') due to Python parser constraints.
- Attributes with underscores are converted (e.g., 'hx_get' becomes 'hx-get').
- Supports nested lists and generators for innerHTML content.
- Custom tags can be created using the 'tag' function.
- Inner strings are not escaped by default but can be enabled globally.
- Debugging features include automatic indentation for readable HTML output.
- Includes a utility to convert HTML strings to function-based code representation.
