My personal recommendation is tyxml via its jsx ppx. This allows you to write your templates in `.re` files, and thus use a very natural HTML syntax, interspersing OCaml values as needed using the tyxml APIs for those times when simple interpolation of values isn’t sufficient. There was some recent-ish discussion around this topic, e.g. [Htmx/hc web development approach - #16 by cemerick](https://discuss.ocaml.org/t/htmx-hc-web-development-approach/9993/16), and a pile of replies further downthread.
