Release 4.6 - Kotlin Extensions with Function Literals with Receiver

All HTML builders are now available through Kotlin Extensions with function literals with receiver, enabling both nested method and method chaining idioms.

You can write HTML structures in a natural, hierarchical way using nested lambdas, or use method chaining for concise simple sequences:

Nested Method

Nested Method Example

body {
    div {
        p { 
            text("Hello") 
        }
    }
}

Method Chaining

Method Chaining Example

body.div.p.text("Hello").l.l.l

note

The l builder emits the end tag, allowing fluent construction of HTML elements.

Both approaches are available depending on your preference - nested lambdas for readability with complex structures, or method chaining for concise simple sequences.
