I'd say you shouldn't be using C to build websites at all, that there are much simpler ways to write your html these days :)

But you're right, abstractions are good thing, but not when someone creates an abstraction layer for HTML tags to where your write _br() instead of < br > literally typing more characters to use an abstraction because some old timey dev was utterly insane. [true story, old tag library i had to use years ago]
