You'll generally have two functions:

  addFragment : (String, IntermediateHtmlAST) -> IntermediateHtmlAST

  renderHtml : IntermediateHtmlAST -> String
There is a sanitation pass that occurs either in the final conversion of the intermediate data structure to an HTML string (renderHtml), or immediately on the function call (addFragment).

This is similar to how database query libraries let you build up a SQL query via an intermediate data structure and then convert that to a prepared SQL statement (most common) or do data sanitization on the input fragment (less ideal).
