Not sure exactly what you are referring to, but I'm hoping to make these a little bit easier to use than just typing the links out manually, myself.

I guess a string of html would just be inserted/interpolated, without having the tags be escaped? Anyway, I will try that and get back to you if I still have issues. I'd like to be able to standardize on xexprs tho. @Joel Dueck <dueckofe...@gmail.com>, On Mon, May 27, 2019 at 4:09 PM Joel Dueck <dueckofe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Why not just construct the links "blind"?
