===== Keywords =====

***table will need some description of it's requested elements***
**Actually I think this could just be done in the parser. Emitting warnings if names dont match**

elem table {
}

**elem is a keyword specifying that the next token will implement some type of rendering behaviour in this case, it is a table.** 

elem table : globalTableFormatting {
	meta tableFormatting {
	}
}

meta globalTableFormatting {

} 

**meta is a keyword specifying that the next token will contain some subset of the data that an elem that needs to render.** 


===== Nesting =====

**There is no way around a tree structure in the markup.** 

elem div {

}

elem table {
	meta tableFormatting {
		color: Black,
	}	
	elem tr {
		elem tc {
			text: "testText1"
		}
		elem tc {
		text: "testText2"			
	}
	}
}

**But I think I can strongly type the nesting structure, e.g**

struct Table {
	fn addChild(child: TableRow)
}
elem!(table, Table)

struct TableRow {
	fn addChild(child: TableColumn)
}
elem!(table, TableRow)
