Thanks Matthew,
I have two question that I didn't express clearly:
1. A renderer that would create xexpr's for direct consumption of the
racket web server. It sounds like pollen will be perfect! (I quickly
dismissed writing my own wiki-markup renderer on the basis that scribble
already existed)
2. A renderer that would accept a string rather than a path. Both the
scribble and pollen renderers seem to require a path to a file, but I'm
keen to store pages in a database[1].
I think you have solved (1) thanks! - do you have any suggestions for (2)?
I have another concern that I haven't thought through...can I (should I)
enable users to enter executable code - I quite like the idea though it
obviously holds risks :)
Kind regards,
Stephen
[1] as an alternative I could just store my wiki pages as text files in a
git repository and get history for free but I wanted to keep it simple.
