Here's a small example:
```lisp
('"<!DOCTYPE html>") ; using a raw string for the doctype is fine
(text "<!DOCTYPE html>") ; using a raw string for the doctype is fine
(html
(head
; everything that belongs in the head element
(title'"Document")
(title (text "Document"))
(meta (: "charset" "UTF-8"))
(meta (: "name" "viewport") (: "content" "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"))
(meta (: "http-equiv" "X-UA-Compatible") (: "content" "ie=edge"))
(meta ("charset" "UTF-8"))
(meta ("name" "viewport") ("content" "width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"))
(meta ("http-equiv" "X-UA-Compatible") ("content" "ie=edge"))
(link (: "rel" "stylesheet") (: "href" "#")))

(body
; the actual body only starts here
(span (: "style" "color: red") ('"Hello, world!"))))
(span ("style" "color: red") (text "Hello, world!"))))

bberry has some super simple syntax helpers:
- You can create raw HTML elements using `(text "...")` or `(' "...")`
- You can add attributes using `(attr "key" "value")` or `(: "key" "value")`
- You can quickly add text to an element by adding an apostrophe at the end of its tag (if it has no children) like `(h1'"Hello, world!")`
- You can create raw HTML elements using `(text "...")` or `(tag' "...")`
- You can add attributes using `(attr "key" "value")` or `("key" "value")`
- Whitespace is ignored (except for in parenthesis), so you can format however you'd like
- The only formatting rule is there must be a space after tag names, and everything must be in parenthesis!
- Parenthesis and strings must also be properly closed
