			Let’s go through all patterns we would like to use and what needs to be improved for better experience.
		`),

		el(code, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/elements/intro.js"), page_id }),
		
		el(h3, t`Creating element(s) (with custom attributes)`),
		el("p").append(...T`
			You can create a native DOM element by using the ${el("a", references.mdn_create).append(
			el("code", "document.createElement()") )}. It is also possible to provide a some attribute(s) declaratively
			using ${el("code", "Object.assign()")}. More precisely, this way you can sets some
			${el("a", references.mdn_idl).append( el("abbr", { textContent: "IDL", title: "Interface Description Language" }))}
			also known as a JavaScript property.
		`),
		el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/elements/nativeCreateElement.js"), page_id }),
		el("p").append(...T`
			To make this easier, you can use the ${el("code", "el")} function. Internally in basic examples,
			it is wrapper around ${el("code", "assign(document.createElement(…), { … })")}.
		`),
		el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/elements/dekaCreateElement.js"), page_id }),
		el("p").append(...T`
			The ${el("code", "assign")} function provides improved behaviour of ${el("code", "Object.assign()")}.
			You can declaratively sets any IDL and attribute of the given element. Function prefers IDL and fallback
			to the ${el("code", "element.setAttribute")} if there is no writable property in the element prototype.
		`),
		el("p").append(...T`
			You can study all JavaScript elements interfaces to the corresponding HTML elements. All HTML elements
			inherits from ${el("a", { textContent: "HTMLElement", ...references.mdn_el })}. To see
			all available IDLs for example for paragraphs, see ${el("a", { textContent: "HTMLParagraphElement", ...references.mdn_p })}.
			Moreover, the ${el("code", "assign")} provides a way to sets declaratively some convenient properties:
		`),
		el("ul").append(
			el("li").append(...T`
				It is possible to sets ${el("code", "data-*")}/${el("code", "aria-*")} attributes using object notation.
			`),
			el("li").append(...T`
				In opposite, it is also possible to sets ${el("code", "data-*")}/${el("code", "aria-*")} attribute
				using camelCase notation.
			`),
			el("li").append(...T`You can use string or object as a value for ${el("code", "style")} property.`),
			el("li").append(...T`
				${el("code", "className")} (IDL – preffered)/${el("code", "class")} are ways to add CSS classes
				to the element. You can use string (similarly to ${el("code", "class=\"…\"")} syntax in  HTML) or
				array of strings. This is handy to concat conditional classes.
			`),
			el("li").append(...T`
				Use ${el("code", "classList")} to toggle specific classes. This will be handy later when
				the reactivity via signals is beeing introduced.
			`),
			el("li").append(...T`
				The ${el("code", "assign")} also accepts the ${el("code", "undefined")} as a value for any property
				to remove it from the element declaratively. Also for some IDL the corresponding attribute is removed
				as it can be confusing. ${el("em").append(...T`For example, natievly the element’s ${el("code", "id")}
				is removed by setting the IDL to an empty string.`)}
			`),
			el("li").append(...T`
				You can use ${el("code", "=")} or ${el("code", ".")} to force processing given key as attribute/property
				of the element.
			`)
		),
		el("p").append(...T`
			For processing, the ${el("code", "assign")} internally uses ${el("code", "assignAttribute")} and
			${el("code", "classListDeclarative")}.
		`),
		el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/elements/dekaAssign.js"), page_id }),
		
		el(h3, t`Native JavaScript templating`),
		el("p", t`By default, the native JS has no good way to define HTML template using DOM API:`),
		el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/elements/nativeAppend.js"), page_id }),
		el("p").append(...T`
			This library therefore overwrites the ${el("code", "append")} method of created elements to always return
			parent element.
		`),
		el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/elements/dekaAppend.js"), page_id }),
		
		
		el(h3, t`Basic (state-less) components`),
		el("p").append(...T`
			You can use functions for encapsulation (repeating) logic. The ${el("code", "el")} accepts function
			as first argument. In that case, the function should return dom elements and the second argument for
			${el("code", "el")} is argument for given element.
		`),
		el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/elements/dekaBasicComponent.js"), page_id }),
		el("p").append(...T`
			As you can see, in case of state-less/basic components there is no difference between calling component
			function directly or using ${el("code", "el")} function.
		`),
		el("p", { className: "notice" }).append(...T`
			It is nice to use similar naming convention as native DOM API. This allows us to use
			${el("a", { textContent: t`the destructuring assignment syntax`, ...references.mdn_destruct })} and keep
			track of the native API (things are best remembered through regular use).
		`),

		el(h3, t`Creating non-HTML elements`),
		el("p").append(...T`
			Similarly to the native DOM API (${el("a", references.mdn_ns).append(el("code", "document.createElementNS"))})
			for non-HTML elements we need to tell JavaScript which kind of the element to create. We can use
			the ${el("code", "elNS")} function:
		`),
		el(example, { src: fileURL("./components/examples/elements/dekaElNS.js"), page_id }),
		
		el(mnemonic)
