Re: [pollen] Re: ◊(select …) function returns nothing, always.

I recommend sorting this out in the REPL, and then moving back to the template. For instance, it should be possible to preview the result like so (where `doc` is imported from "your-source.poly.pm"): #lang racket (require pollen/core "your-source.poly.pm") (select 'line-image doc) Though as

Re: [pollen] Getting the first N words: speed comparison

As a Racket rule of thumb, I find that most efforts toward "custom-built loops" end in defeat, because the Racket macro expander and JIT compiler are aware of better optimizations. If I were writing another book on Racket, it would be High-Performance Racket, which I know more about than I used

Re: [pollen] Semantic markup in generated X-expression?

OK, then suppose you store the attributes in the X-expressions for the purposes of your internal Pollen processing. You can always strip out those private attributes before the `doc` is injected into the HTML template. Does that work? You're right that the X-expression closely models HTML

Re: [pollen] Semantic markup in generated X-expression?

You could preserve the semantic information inside a `class` attribute, or custom attribute. These would also be reachable through CSS selectors, if you're into that. > On Apr 12, 2019, at 7:51 AM, Daniel Sockwell wrote: > > In general, my intuition is that the semantics should be preserved

[pollen] better meta values?

tl;dr 1) Would it be useful to allow meta values to be expressions, not merely datums? 2) Is anyone using identifiers or lists as meta values? Mostly my impression is that they're usually strings, numbers, or booleans (whose meaning wouldn't change with this upgrade). I was thinking that it

I'm afraid the parallel-processing problem is going to require more scrutiny about how it can be done safely. For the time being I've disabled parallel processing (you can still ask for `raco pollen render -p`, but it won't be parallel). > On Jun 13, 2019, at 7:33 PM, Matthew Butterick wr
