Thank you, I think you answered all my issues. I will try it out. The thing that worries me the most is the `racket a-pollen-file.html.pm`, that seems like not the best way to try to treat a page as data. But I will see how far I can go! On Friday, May 10, 2019 at 4:44:04 AM UTC-4, Sorawee Por

You can also `(require "a-pollen-file.html.pm")` just like any Racket module. Every Pollen source exports `doc`, which is an S-expression representing the content of the document. > On May 10, 2019, at 8:12 AM, Joel McCracken wrote: > > The thing that worries me the most is the `racket a-poll

Interesting, thank you. Will requiring the pollen file also have it output the compiled file to the filesystem? On Friday, May 10, 2019 at 11:30:22 AM UTC-4, Matthew Butterick wrote: > > You can also `(require "a-pollen-file.html.pm")` just like any Racket > module. Every Pollen source exports `

Well, I have been working on this for a bit of time, and have a few questions: I have implemented a good portion of the link system I alluded to in my earlier email (that is, I can specify aliases for pages and link to the pages via those aliases, which are expanded). However, I have run into a fe

Why not just construct the links "blind"? For example (require net/uri-codec) (define (section name . elements) `(h2 [[id ,(uri-encode name)]] ,@elements)) (define (xref-link file id . elements) `(a [[href ,(format "~a.html#~a" file id)]] ,@elements)) (The uri-encode is

So yes this might be unnecessary. In my mind, the most efficient way to implement what I want is to generate the references data up front, and then render what I need with that data. So, basically I am using a two step process, step one is analysis, step two is rendering. Let me try to describe wh
