2. HTML Generation System

A. HTML Generator Utility

File: js/utils/html-generator.js (468 lines)

A comprehensive HTML generator class that creates complete TestDrive-JSUI HTML documents.

Features

• Dual Mode Support:

  • Standalone mode (default): All CSS/JS embedded inline
  • External resources mode: References files in _jsui/ directory

• Configurable Options:

  new HTMLGenerator({
      title: 'My Document',
      description: 'Interactive editor',
      markdown: '# Content',
      mode: 'edit',  // or 'view'
      theme: 'github',
      standalone: true,  // or false
      controls: {
          editControl: true,
          statusControl: true,
          contentsControl: true,
          debugControl: false
      },
      shortcuts: true,
      autosave: false,
      baseUrl: '_jsui',  // for external mode
      includeMarkedJS: true
  });
  

• Methods:

  • generate() - Generate HTML document
  • generateStandalone() - Standalone mode
  • generateExternal() - External resources mode
  • saveToFile(filename) - Save to file (Node.js)
  • download(filename) - Download in browser

Usage Example

// Standalone mode
const generator = new HTMLGenerator({
    title: 'My Document',
    markdown: '# Hello World',
    standalone: true
});
const html = generator.generate();
generator.download('my-doc.html');

// External mode
const generator2 = new HTMLGenerator({
    title: 'My Document',
    markdown: '# Hello World',
    standalone: false,
    baseUrl: '_jsui'
});
const html2 = generator2.generate();

When to Use Each Mode

Standalone Mode (Default)

Best for:

• ✅ Single file portability (email, share, move)
• ✅ No web server required (works via file://)
• ✅ Offline usage
• ✅ Simplicity (one file, no dependencies)
• ✅ Quick prototypes and demos

Characteristics:

• All CSS/JS embedded inline (~100+ KB per file)
• No external dependencies (except marked.js CDN)
• No browser caching
• Larger file size

External Resources Mode

Best for:

• ✅ Multiple HTML files (share resources)
• ✅ Smaller individual HTML files
• ✅ Browser caching for performance
• ✅ Easier debugging (separate files)
• ✅ Production deployments

Characteristics:

• References _jsui/ directory
• Requires web server (no file://)
• Browser caches resources (~82 KB total)
• Smaller HTML files
