<h1>Developer Guide: Angular HTML Compiler</h1>
<div class="developer-guide-angular-html-compiler"><fieldset class="workInProgress"><legend>Work in Progress</legend>
This page is currently being revised. It might be incomplete or contain inaccuracies.</fieldset>
<p>The core of angular is its HTML compiler.  The compiler processes angular directives, widgets, and
markup to transform a static HTML page into a dynamic web application.</p>

<p>The default HTML transformations that the angular compiler provides are useful for building generic
apps, but you can also extend the compiler to create a domain-specific language for building
specific types of web applications.</p>

<p>All compilation takes place in the web browser; no server is involved.</p>
