Search Google Groups for "Bradshaw Naggum TML" for a similar approach to
"quoteless" HTML-exprs. I think your example would be written thusly in TML:
<html
<head
<title|A test>>
<body
<p|Just a <bold|test><br>
1 + 2 = <eval (+ 1 2)><br>
And a link: <a :href "page.html"|The Page>.>>>
[Or maybe "<lisp :eval (+ 1 2)>", I forget...]
[I'm also not sure of the exact rules on when the end-of-attributes
marker "|" can be omitted. I *think* it's whenever the next token
could not be taken as a Lisp symbol, but maybe it's only needed
before keywords. Tim?]
