What it sounds like is that you want to create your own import containing 
these things, and then you just instantiate that. e.g.

import WebLike 1.0 as WL

WL.Body{
	WL.Table{
		WL.Row{
			WL.Cell{ text: "Cellular" }
		}
	}
}

then use QDeclarativeComponent to instantiate it. You'll get a WL.Body root 
item and all the instantiated subtree. Then your C++ program can traverse the 
tree spitting out the appropriate HTML.

Or did you want more than just creating the objects with the properties and 
bindings set up?
