The complete guide to HTX markup

HTX is a lightweight markup language between Markdown and HTML. This guide teaches you how to write explicit :: blocks, components, security profiles, and more — with live examples and a browser playground.

Introduction What HTX is, how it works, and how to install the CLI. Quickstart Learn blocks, layout tags, and inline styling in ~30 minutes. Syntax reference Block directives, nesting, diagnostics, and parse modes. Examples Dashboards, components, GFM tables, and security profiles.

Why HTX?

Explicit structure

Every block opens with ::tag and closes with :: — structure is always visible in source.

Markdown ergonomics

Headings, emphasis, lists, and links work like Markdown. Add layout and components when you need more.

Safe by default

No raw HTML pass-through. Security profiles quarantine untrusted content at parse time.
