Could be friendlier than WASM? (Was: Recent library(misc/markup) improvement)

Hi,
That you have all Chrome DevTools options like here:

Since Dogelog Player is written in JavaScript and also
some of the libraries have usage of JavaScript written
foreign functions, you will not see any assembler.
This is unlike WASM Prolog systems where you will
probably see assembly instructions? This carries also
over if your write your own libraries and use JavaScript.

Hi,
 The recent version of library(misc/markup) allows
also to preview in ASCII what you would dynamically
insert into the Web Browser DOM.
 But maybe I should more blog about these things.
But I am currently stuck with other problems. So
didn't have time to explain these debugging
 methods in detail. But since relase 1.2.3 the
test case report generator also uses library(misc/markup).
So its already hardened more or less.
 But these improvements of in library(misc/markup)
are there to support the ASCII <-> Browser Cycle.
For example you can inspect a prover HTML output in
 ASCII via node.js and then go to the web, you even
don't need to change a single line of code.

The current work around is to first develop
the application with an ascii interface,

If you have done this cross development you
can bring it to the web, like here:

You have still all the options to debug it web-ish,
like opening the chrome development tools, watch
all the things there, you can also use break points

that access the web browser. So basically debugging
of the web GUI part happens mainly via:

Do you mean the idea to create a debugger

I don't know whether it is allowed. The

end-users when they are using the Tic Tac Toe. About
the debugger I am not sure, my license has a clause:

So Tic Tac Toe as a primary functionality is
of course fine. About a debugger I don't know.
You might get a written permission from me.

A debugger is not included because how for

a debugger? Its not that SWI-Prologs prologtrace

But for Web 2.0/3.0 I don't whether this works as well.
