Hi, A new awful version (0.36) has been released today. It begins a transition to SXML. The new version is still compatible with old code, but the documentation has been updated to encourage the use of SXML.
Here's a more detailed explanation: awful has been using html-tags (http://wiki.call-cc.org/egg/html-tags) to generate HTML. The problem is that, by default, html-tags generates plain strings. That approach has several problems (Peter Bex nicely explains them here: http://sjamaan.ath.cx/posts/structurally-fixing-injection-bugs.html). Even though the more recent versions of html-tags are able to generate SXML code, awful still has to keep compatibility with old code, so version 0.36 starts a transition phase: old code still works, but there are settings to enable the operation in SXML mode, and that mode is recommended. In the future, only SXML will be supported. Porting "strings code" to SXML is not terribly painful, since html-tags can generate SXML, but expect some warts. Here's a simple example: ;; "Strings mode" (use awful html-tags) (define-page (main-page-path) (lambda () (<div> id: "content" (<p> "Hi!")))) ;; SXML mode (use awful html-tags) (enable-sxml #t) ;; for awful (generate-sxml? #t) ;; for html-tags (define-page (main-page-path) (lambda () (<div> id: "content" (<p> "Hi!")))) Of course, you can use pure SXML instead of html-tags (recommended): (use awful) (enable-sxml #t) (define-page (main-page-path) (lambda () '(div (@ (id "content")) (p "Hi!")))) The default `enable-sxml' value is `#f' at the moment, but in future versions it will be set to `#t' (and that will break old apps). The documentation provides more information and code examples. Please, let me know if you find bugs. Best wishes.
