Hi <@U0E2MNCPN>!  I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, but I have responded to a similar question before in this channel with the following snippet from our code base that we use for the rare case that we want to respond with an HTML "snippet" (= just a fragment, no proper HTML document):

```/** Evaluate a TemplateRenderer block into a String. Used in email rendering. */
fun stringFromHtml(renderer: TemplateRenderer): String {
  return StringBuilder().apply {
    append("<!DOCTYPE html>\n")
    appendHTML().renderer()
  }.toString()
}

/** Evaluate a TemplateRenderer block into a RePlay RenderHtml Result. &lt;------- so this would be different for KTor! */
fun resultFromHtml(renderer: TemplateRenderer): RenderHtml {
  return RenderHtml(stringFromHtml(renderer))
}

typealias TemplateRenderer = TagConsumer&lt;*&gt;.() -&gt; Unit

typealias LayoutBuilder&lt;T&gt; = TagConsumer&lt;*&gt;.(data: T, renderer: TemplateRenderer) -&gt; Unit

fun &lt;T&gt; layout(builder: LayoutBuilder&lt;T&gt;): LayoutBuilder&lt;T&gt; {
  return { data, renderer -&gt; builder(data, renderer) }
}

// In a render method we simply do:
fun render(input: Whatever): RenderHtml {
  return resultFromHtml {
    table {
      tr {
        +input.toString()
      }
    }
  }
}```
