Tips to Optimize Your Design to HTML AI Output

1. Nest Components Like Real HTML Structure

In VAKZero, you work with only two basic component types:
- Section (a rectangle that can be set to any HTML tag via its HTMLTag property)
- Text (inline text nodes)

To create a card, you'd structure it like this in the left-hand navigation panel:

Section (HTMLTag="div")     ← prompt : parent "card" wrapper
├─ Section (HTMLTag="div")  ← prompt : "card-header"
│    └─ Text: "Card Title"
├─ Section (HTMLTag="img")  ← prompt : "card-image"
├─ Section (HTMLTag="div")  ← prompt : "card-footer"
     ├─ Text: "Accept"      ← prompt : "this is a button"
     └─ Text: "Cancel"      ← prompt : "this is a button"

Then AI will map this structure to real HTML:

<div class="card">
  <div class="card-header">
    Card Title
  </div>
  <img src="…" class="card-image" />
  <div class="card-footer">
    <button>Accept</button>
    <button>Cancel</button>
  </div>
</div>

⚙️ Here's what you should do in VAKZero:

Use a Section, set its HTMLTag="div", label it as "card"
Nest inside it:
- Another Section with HTMLTag="div" labeled "card-header", with a Text child
- Section with HTMLTag="img" for the image
- Section with HTMLTag="div" labeled "card-footer", containing Text nodes like "Accept", "Cancel"

This clear parent–child layout and prompting tells the AI exactly how to generate the HTML elements.

2. Be Intentional in Component Prompts

Every component in VAKZero lets you supply a prompt via the top‑center editor. Don’t leave them blank—use them to define layout, content, or behavior.

Example: Want two CTA buttons side‑by‑side with space between them? Select their parent container and prompt:

“Arrange two child buttons horizontally, with equal spacing and aligned vertically.”

The AI will then generate:

<div class="flex gap-4">
  <button class="btn-primary">…</button>
  <button class="btn-secondary">…</button>
</div>

3. Maintain Prompt Consistency

Conflicting instructions lead to unpredictable results. AI reads ALL your prompts—so make sure they don’t disagree.

Bad: Parent says “all text red”, child says “this one blue.”
Result: AI gets confused—output may be inconsistent or override cues.

Good: Keep color or layout instructions centralized: Either specify text color at the parent level or adjust individual child prompts, but don’t mix conflicting orders.

4. Regenerate Until It’s Right

AI generation is probabilistic: even with the same design and prompts, results may differ. If the HTML output isn’t accurate—layout off, class names wrong, or code incomplete—hit “Regenerate.”

Each generation is a new attempt; often the second or third will be even closer to your target.

Tip: If regeneration repeatedly misses something, tweak your prompt wording slightly—for example, add “semantic” or “accessible” or change “horizontal” to “side‑by‑side.” Small changes guide the AI more effectively.
