You can play with the WASM-powered interactive demo, or check out the Github repository with a full README explaining MinTyML in further detail.

A couple months ago, I was writing up some documents in HTML started looking around to see if there was a more concise way to write HTML that let me focus on the text rather than the tags. After looking around, I didn't find quite what I was looking for. Markdown is an option since it can contain HTML, but in practice I found it unwieldy to go back and forth between HTML and Markdown syntax, needing blank lines in between, and having limitations on indenting.

The child combinator (>) denotes a line element, meaning the remainder of the line in addition to subsequent non-empty lines that don't contain elements belong inside that element:

Selectors followed by curly braces ({ ... }) form block elements, which may contain multiple child elements and wraps paragraphs in their own elements.
