Get introduced to the concept of metaprogramming. Learn how to level up your programming skills by discovering the full potential of the macro system in Elixir. Understand the ins and outs of metaprogramming at a fundamental level and write incredible libraries by doing more with less code.

Metaprogramming in Elixir


Take the `Html` module that we built in this chapter as a reference module provided in the file `html.exs`. The `tags.txt` file has a list of tags to be parsed into macro definitions. Now, create a `SignUp` macro that renders HTML macros that print a "Sign Up" page. Create the macro in the `html_render.exs` file provided below:




## Requirements
The `SignUp` macro should completely fulfill the following requirements:
### The main `div`
Create a `div` that belongs to class `main_div`, with two nested `div` segments inside it.
### The first `div`
The first nested `div` should have a complete "Sign Up" form with the following five input fields:
 1. __First Name__:
- `type`: `"text"`
- `class`: `"name_class"` 
- `name`: `"fname"` 
- `placeholder`: `"Ronald"`

 2. __Last Name__
- `type`: `"text"`
- `class`: `"name_class"` 
- `name`: `"name"` 
-  `placeholder`: `"Weasley"`
 3. __Age__
 - `type`: `"number"`
- `class`: `"age_class"`
- `name`: `"age"`
-  `placeholder`: `"18"`
4. __Email__
- `type`: `"email"`
-  `class`: `"email_class"`
- `name`: `"email_id"`
- `placeholder`: `"harry@email.com"`
 5. __Password__
- `type`: `"password"`
- `class`: `"password_class"` 
- `name`: `"password"`
- `placeholder`: `"pass1234"`

### The second `div` 
The second nested `div` should have a submit button for the form that says `Register` and has the following attributes:
- `type` : `"submit"`
- `class` : `"button_class"`
