You know, the reason why text-based format is great is because you don't
need any complication if you don't want to, web frameworks, templating
system, HTMLgen are great for complex pages where every single thing
seems so complex, but writing to a file (or redirecting stdout to a
file, then do a print) is sufficient for many simple applications.
