untested:

function H (tag, attrs, c, ...)
	o = {('<%s '):format(tag)}
	if attrs then
		for k,v in pairs(attrs) do
			table.insert (o, ('%s="%s" '):format(k,v))

		table.insert (o, ('</%s>'):format(tag))
	else
		table.insert (o, '/>')
	end
	return table.concat(o)
end

use:
H('html',nil,
    H('head',nil, H('title',nil, 'page title')),
    H('body',nil,
        H('div', {id='header',class='banner'},
            H('p',nil, 'header div'))
        H('div', {id='main'},
            H('p',nil, 'main part'),
            H('img', {src='lolcats/purrr.jpg', alt='lol'}),
            H('a' {href='somewhere/else.html'}, 'lets go')),
        H('div',{id='footer'}, H('p',nil,'the end'))))
