class Nokogiri::HTML5::Builder

Nokogiri HTML5 builder is used for building HTML documents. It is very similar to the Nokogiri::XML::Builder. In fact, you should go read the documentation for Nokogiri::XML::Builder before reading this documentation.

The construction behavior is identical to HTML4::Builder, but HTML5 documents implement the [HTML5 standard’s serialization algorithm](www.w3.org/TR/2008/WD-html5-20080610/serializing.html).

Synopsis:¶ ↑

Create an HTML5 document with a body that has an onload attribute, and a span tag with a class of “bold” that has content of “Hello world”.

builder = Nokogiri::HTML5::Builder.new do |doc|
  doc.html {
    doc.body(:onload => 'some_func();') {
      doc.span.bold {
        doc.text "Hello world"
      }
    }
  }
end
puts builder.to_html

The HTML5 builder inherits from the XML builder, so make sure to read the Nokogiri::XML::Builder documentation.
