I feel you, however I also love https://github.com/Knio/dominate - a Python library to generate HTML.
Generating HTML always felt awkward for me in many languages. From PHP where you sprinkle PHP between HTML or HTML between PHP, to frameworks in various languages where you populate variables and HTML is magically generated.
Somewhere in between there are template languages.

return hr(), p(
a(
'Start',
href = '/start'
),
style = 'text-align: center;'
)
