stoic-html
What is "stoic-html"?
Stoic HTML is a tiny wrapper around the method format_html() of the Django web framework.
Since I switched to developing the frontend with htmx.org I tend to write small function-based-views returning small HTML fragments.
That's why I switched from using a template language to creating the HTML directly inside my Python code.
That's in general considered dirty, and frowned upon.
For me it is Locality of Behaviour: I have all these things together in one place. That gives me a lot of power and speed.

type can be 'ul' or 'ol' to create HTML lists.

If "text" is empty, then str(obj) gets used.
