Hello. Can anyone tell me what the HTML DSL equivalent of
```&lt;section  data-markdown&gt; ... &lt;/section&gt;```
would be?  In other words, how are tag attributes with no values expressed in the DSL?

I guess it can have any value, like "true"

Yes, I know how to express tag attributes with values.

```&lt;section  id="test"&gt; ... &lt;/section&gt;```
is written as:

```section { attributes["id"] = "test" }```
but I am asking about the case where the tag attribute is not assigned a value.

An example of the html I am trying to generate is line 39 of this file: <https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/blob/0582f57517c97a4c7bfeb58762138c78883f94c5/examples/markdown.html#L39>

You can see the
```data-markdown```
tag attribute is not assigned a value.

Does it work when you write `&lt;section  data-markdown&gt; ... &lt;/section&gt;` as `section { attributes["data-markdown"] = "true" }`? I don't remember JS well but I think it should. In JS, there should be the same problem of accessing attributes without values, I think there should be just any value

If you assign it "true" it generates:
```&lt;section data-markdown="true"&gt; ... &lt;/section&gt;```
which is not the same thing (and causes problems).

&gt; causes problems
Then I don't know. But actually I'm interested what problems does it cause. Why do you need exactly ``&lt;section  data-markdown&gt; ... &lt;/section&gt;`` without a value of the attribute?

I am wrapping the reveal.js framework and and adding the "true" value results in the markdown not displaying properly.  I do not know JS well enough to dig into the problem. I just want to give it what it wants.

`&lt;section  data-markdown&gt;` is same to `&lt;section  data-markdown="data-markdown"&gt;`

<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Attribute>

&gt;  You may see attributes without the equals sign or a value. That is a shorthand for providing the empty string in HTML, or the attribute’s name in XML.

&gt;  To be clear, the values "`true`" and "`false`" are not allowed on boolean attributes.
