# html/serialize Serialize a parsed document back to HTML. Round-trips what the parser normalised — entity decoding is re-encoded, repaired markup comes out well-formed. ## Syntax

[html/serialize $src|$doc ?opts]

## Parameters - `$src` — HTML source text (string) or a `%HtmlDocument` handle from `html/open` - `$opts` — optional map: `:inner true` for the innerHTML of `<body>` ## Examples

[html/serialize "<!DOCTYPE html><p>a &amp; b</p>"]
# => "<!DOCTYPE html><html><head></head><body><p>a &amp; b</p></body></html>"

[html/serialize "<p>a &amp; b</p>" %{ :inner true }]
# => "<p>a &amp; b</p>"

## Returns A string. Whole-document output serializes the doctype plus the `<html>` tree (a fragment input gains the html/head/body skeleton — the parser always builds one). `:inner true` concatenates the children of `<body>` (the skeleton is not emitted). Top-level whitespace-only text nodes are dropped; everything else is preserved. Failures return `%Err{ :message "..." }`. ## See Also `html/parse`, `html/open`, `xml/stringify`
