+
+```js
+function el(name, attributes, ...children) {
+  const element = document.createElement(name);
+  for (const [name, value] of Object.entries(attributes))
+    element.setAttribute(name, value);
+  element.append(...children);
+  return element;
+}
+```

+```js
+const page = el("html", {},
+  el("head", {},
+    el("meta", { charset: "utf-8" }),
+    el("meta", {
+        name: "viewport",
