Texmacs is very slow for my literate programming macros which use custom
lists.
I've pinned the problem down to the assignment of item-nr. Each named
code-chunk can appear in multiple chunklets and has it's own line
counter that is shared across all chunklets, so I assign item-nr to
contain the counter-so-far before I render the list. (BTW I wish html
export also recognized that item-nr may not start at 1):
Assigning item-nr as shown below makes things slow.
<with|...|item-nr|<value|<merge|code-line-|<value|nf-name>|-nr>>|
...
<render-list|<arg|body>>
...
>
Alternatively, if item-nr is assigned to a literal numeric value, like this:
<with|...|item-nr|29|
...
<render-list|<arg|body>>
...
>
then everything is fast.
I expect I need to do magic with eval and quasi and so on, but no amount
of guessing has worked yet. I think I know that <with...> encloses all
assignments in <quote> so I tried using <assign> instead with various
incantations of quasi and eval but without success.
I need a master to give me a tip on this.... how can I early evaluate
<value|<merge|code-line-|<value|nf-name>|-nr>> to become a numeric value?
