[racket-users] Scopes and shadowing syntax-rules literals

Hi, I've been experimenting with various corner cases of the macro system to better understand the implementation. For comparison, I've also been running the experiments in Chez Scheme. I found a difference of opinions when running the following two tests. The idea is to test under what

Re: [racket-users] What is the right way to generate HTML from the web server?

I'd enjoy a #lang that parses Jinja templates. They've proliferated to all the major web languages and work nicely, so a Racketized version seems like an obvious upgrade. On Thu, Jan 4, 2018, at 3:23 PM, Matthew Butterick wrote: > >> On Jan 4, 2018, at 11:47 AM, Jay McCarthy >>

Re: [racket-users] What is the right way to generate HTML from the web server?

FWIW, txexpr is essentially just `xexpr->string` but it sees when you put in a `script` or `style` and it puts the `make-cdata` for you. (It also does a bit more checking to make sure the xexpr is well-formed.) On Thu, Jan 4, 2018 at 2:30 PM, Philip McGrath wrote: >

Re: [racket-users] What is the right way to generate HTML from the web server?

(For posterity, because I realized I didn't explicitly say this:) The cdata structure effectively just tells functions like `write-xexpr` to write the string it contains without any escaping. In particular, it doesn't add the "" implied by using CDATA in actual XML, which is what we take

Re: [racket-users] What is the right way to generate HTML from the web server?

Many thanks for all of the responses. I have no fear of the parentheses, and will likely end up with a number of wrappers like you describe, Phillip. I hadn't (yet) twigged to possibly wrapping things up in a CDATA section, but that makes sense. Now if we just had a Racket library that shoveled

Re: [racket-users] What is the right way to generate HTML from the web server?

FWIW, I use `response/xexpr` in production with a `#:preamble` of `#"\n"`, and I haven't run into problems. The biggest non-obvious thing, since I see you're generating a script element, is that `response/xexpr` (and the underlying `xexpr->string`/` write-xexpr`) properly escape < and & in body

Re: [racket-users] What is the right way to generate HTML from the web server?

What would the characteristics of the perfect library be? Some easy things that come to mind: - automatically generate the boilerplate -- DTD, tags, etc - convenient methods for converting a LoL into a table - able to "literate assemble" template fragments from the disk On Thu, Jan 4, 2018 at

Re: [racket-users] What is the right way to generate HTML from the web server?

I don't think the perfect library exists, because HTML has changed considerably since most Racket libraries were written. I think xexpr do 90% of the job, but fails on the issues mentioned in that issue. I think the best option right now is either txexpr ---

Hi all, I read through this issue: https://github.com/racket/racket/issues/577 and am in the "what is going on?" category of user when it comes to HTML generation in Racket. What should I be using to generate responses from a servlet? response/xexpr? Does that generate HTML I can use
