This is very early and so far can render markup with styles both in a style tag or inline. Scripting and event handling are up next. Some of the following is more aspirational atm :

TextUI: Build Text-based User Interfaces with HTML-like Syntax

TextUI is a library built on top of the great and powerful Textual framework to create rich terminal applications using an HTML-like syntax. The goal of this project is to make building text user interfaces more accessible and easier to iterate, especially for those familiar with HTML based applications.

Features/Goals

• Create terminal applications using a familiar HTML-like syntax
• Easily style your applications with CSS
• Event handling and scripting support (with Python)
• Modular design for easy component addition and modification
• Extensive documentation and examples to help you get started quickly

Usage

To use TextUI, see the main.py for now.

        }
        .accent {

        }
    </style>
    <header/>
    <label id="accent">Welcome to the sample XML file</label>
    <label class="accent">label with accent styling.</label>
