Tell me, please, can anyone meet the code, which is a string like

(p "qqqqaaaa" (tr (td "www") (td "eee")))

Converts to html or xml of the form:

 < p >qqqqaaaa< tr >< td > www < /td > < td> eee< /td> < /tr> < /p>

There will be few tags at the input, i.e. only basic formatting elements, no frills. We need the simplest parser, in php or javascript, or an algorithm.

    An example of such a function. In the data (in (td "www") this is www) you cannot use _ "_.
    I note that this is not the fastest implementation.

     function parse(str){ var re1 = /\(([\w]+) \"([^\"]+)\"\)/, re1_ = '"<$1>$2</$1>"', re2 = /\"[ ]+\"/, re2_ = ''; var tmp; while( ( tmp = str.replace( re1, re1_ ) ) != str ){ str = tmp.replace( re2, re2_ ); } return str; } str = '(p "qqqqaaaa" (tr (td "www") (td "eee")))'; parse( str );
    • Thanks, I already managed it myself - deivan_

    The structure of the information is a list in the scheme. Accordingly, such strings are understood by Lisp languages ​​in the forehead, and it should be easy to output them in xml-format. If another language is needed, then the task of parsing Lisp lists in this particular language was probably solved more than once.

    • Indeed, the list comes from Lisp, but the parser needs javascript or php. I am looking for specifics, I ask for help from the community, because I have not yet found it on my own. - deivan_
