### Automatic HTML-to-Mithril Template Converter
There's a tool called [MSX by Jonathan Buchanan](https://github.com/insin/msx) that allows you to write templates using HTML syntax, and then automatically compile them to Javascript when files change.
It is useful for teams where styling and functionality are done by different people, and for those who prefer to maintain templates in HTML syntax.
The tool allows you to write code like this:
```javascript
todo.view = function(ctrl) {
return <html>
<body>
<input onchange={m.withAttr("value", ctrl.description)} value={ctrl.description()}/>
<button onclick={ctrl.add.bind(ctrl, ctrl.description)}>Add</button>
</body>
</html>
};
```
Note, however, that since the code above is not valid Javascript, this syntax can only be used with a preprocessor build tool such as the provided [Gulp.js](http://gulpjs.com) script.
