The curly-brace syntax is almost always preferable. Keep in mind that the linebreaks are separated into their own elements (For more on this behavior see [1].) So this markup:
◊ol{The remaining forty-nine stalks ◊(comment "" ",") two piles. another item another item } Produces this list of five (not three) elements: '("The remaining forty-nine stalks " (comment "" ",") " two piles." "\n" "another item" "\n" "another item") Probably what you want is to preprocess `elements` into bigger chunks representing list items before passing each to your 'li tag lambda. For instance this: (require sugar/list) (filter-split '("The remaining forty-nine stalks " (comment "" ",") " two piles." "\n" "another item" "\n" "another item") (λ (e) (equal? e "\n"))) Produces these sublists: '(("The remaining forty-nine stalks " (comment "" ",") " two piles.") ("another item") ("another item")) For a more elaborate example of list-item detection, see the `detect-list-items` function [2] in the pollen-tfl sample project.
