production-shaped apps. Structured `hemx-build` diagnostics expose a file path,
directive, target, expected template fact, and repair action so an optional

# `.heml` syntax surface
`.heml` files are ordinary HTML plus the small hemplate surface below. Use normal
HTML tooling first; hemx/hemplate adds checks for the few template facts that
Rust code generation needs. req: diagnostics/001 req: diagnostics/002
## Text and HTML
- `{+ expr +}` inserts escaped text.
- `{+= expr =+}` inserts trusted/rendered HTML. Use it only for values already
represented as trusted HTML in Rust.
```html
<h1>{+ self.title +}</h1>
<div>{+= self.body_html =+}</div>
```
## Dynamic attributes
Prefix an HTML attribute with `+` when its value is a Rust expression.
```html
<a +href="self.url">{+ self.label +}</a>
<button +disabled="self.saving">Save</button>
```
Dynamic attributes render HTML. They do not replace template facts such as
`h-key` on a loop or `data-hemx-slot` names used by generated helpers.
## Control flow
```html
<section h-if="self.logged_in">Welcome back</section>
<li h-for="todo in &self.todos" h-key="todo.id">
{+ todo.title +}
</li>
<div h-match="self.state">
<p h-case="State::Loading">Loading</p>
<p h-case="State::Ready">Ready</p>
<p h-case="_">Unknown</p>
</div>
```
`h-key` is required when generated targets live inside `h-for`; it must be the
stable template fact on the loop that owns the repeated target. `+data-key` on a
child is just rendered HTML and is not enough for generated keyed helpers.
## Generated hemx targets
Generated targets are named in templates and used from Rust through generated
helpers. Do not target them with CSS selectors or raw ids in normal app code.
```html
<main data-hemx-root="todos">
<form data-hemx-form="new_todo" data-hemx-handle="add_todo">
<input name="title" required>
</form>
<p data-hemx-slot="notice">{+ self.notice +}</p>
<ul>
<li h-for="row in &self.rows" h-key="row.id" data-hemx-slot="todo_row">
{+ row.title +}
</li>
</ul>
</main>
```
Rust handlers then use generated helpers such as
`ui::notice.set("Saved")`, `ui::todo_row.replace(row)`, and composed
`IntoEffect` batches. The template owns target names; Rust owns state, commands,
events, and projections.
## Boundary
This file defines the stable public authoring surface for hemx examples and
beginner docs. It does not introduce a client component framework, custom editor
framework, JavaScript expression language, selector targeting model, or stored DOM
truth.
