So, I can re-write it to call the correct functions.
Leandro's advice is sound — call more functions, don't reduce to X-expressions as quickly. It doesn't sound like you need `eval`. I'm not an enemy of `eval`, but like macros, there's often a simpler way to get the same result. FWIW Pollen isn't different from Racket in that regard — Racket keeps evaluating expressions until it gets a value, and then stops. The weakness of my `detect-list-items` example in the `pollen-tfl` project is that I only need to generate lists for HTML, so I'm reducing the result immediately to an X-expression (by applying `(default-tag-function 'li)`). In your case, you'd want to take the `list-of-li-paragraphs` and pass it to another function, let's call it `make-li`, that has different behavior depending on whether you're targeting HTML, or LaTeX, etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Pollen" group.
