I was wondering: is there a way to create HTML files programmatically in C# as you can do with XML? Mine is a console application, so maybe some of the options are not available. Basically, I would like to do something smarter than just building a big string.

Possible scenario:

Instead of writing:

     string html="<html><head>Blah</head><body>{0}</html>", myotherstring

I would like to work as in XML

     XmlTextWriter w = new XmlTextWriter(xml_file_path + xml_file_name,
                                        System.Text.Encoding.UTF8);

     w.WriteProcessingInstruction("xml", "version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'");

     // construct xml
     XmlElement root = xmlDoc.CreateElement("element");

     ...

     xmlDoc.Save(w);
     w.Close();

Apologies for the naive question.

    You could use NVelocity. It is a .Net port of the Java Velocity templating system. The API will not be similar to XmlWriter. Instead, you’ll write a text file in a simple scripting language, put your objects into a ‘context’ and then merge the template and the context to generate the HTML file.
