<panel id="panel" pos="center" width="900px" padleft="8px">
    <name>Control Panel</name>
    <control type="container" width="500px" pos="left" padbottom="10px">
        <control type="textarea" class="output" binding="print" width="480px" height="200px"/>
        <control type="container">
            control type="text" class="input" binding="debugInput" width="360px"/>
            <control type="button" class="input" binding="debugEnter">Enter</control>

    </control>
</panel>
```

Output
---
```html
<div id="..." class="pc-panel pc-component">
    <div class="pc-container">
        <div class="pcx86-panel" data-value="id:'...',name:'...'">
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
```

Also, if any controls are defined, another &lt;div&gt; of class="pc-controls" is created in the container &lt;div&gt;,
with each control inside a &lt;div&gt; of class="pc-control".
