Scala.js support about scalatags HOT 4 CLOSED

That would be cool!

I'm for just getting rid of Symbols entirely; I don't think we really gain much by using them over strings.

One thing to note is that scala-xml is being ripped out of the standard library in 2.11, so even if it works now it's gonna stop working in a few months when 2.11 comes out. It's also a pretty massive dependency for what we're using it for (i.e. basic serialization).

If you could add, in addition to the existing def toXML(): NodeSeq, a useful/performand def toString(): String to serialize the nodes to HTML without passing through scala-xml then i'd happily merge it in =)

Well, I think that I will need scalatags for a long time, so eventually I should make any necessary changes to keep it working. As soon as I have some spare time I will rip the symbols and scala-xml dependency.

Hello again. Now that it is fresh in my head, I've done the change to get rid of the symbols and scala-xml. Take a look at https://github.com/Peluko/scalatags/commit/ca313094193d27376c0e12e3ff060021a21010af
By now it uses regular String for the 'serialization' to html, just for simplicity. For big pages it can be a performance bottleneck, so it should be updated to use StringBuilder instead.
