A particular case I'm
interested in is embedding snippets of code provided by HTML widget
vendors. An example of this might be Google Analytics, Google Ads,
Statcounter, Flattr, etc.
Here is an example of a Statcounter snippet:
[...snip...]
This uses 'script', 'noscript' and various attributes not supported by
the Meta Html parsing or xbody. In the case of Google Ads it's not
allowed by the terms and conditions to edit the snippet they give you.
What are some ways of being able to embed this using Ur/Web? Should
Html and/or xbody be modified to allow these extra
elements/attributes?
No, because this would allow circumventing all the nice type system
guarantees about encapsulation and so on.
Should I resort to FFI? If the latter, is there
an example I can follow of using the FFI to return a raw HTML string
that can be put in the page?
This is what I recommend. Every XML type is just a C string from the
FFI's perspective, so you just need to write a function that returns a
string. You can write that type as [uw_Basis_string], [char*], or
whatever other synonym you like. You can return normal string literals.
