Re: [pollen] A few questions about pollen capabilities

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

[pollen] new Quad demo

I've restored Quad to a state where it can be installed and demoed. Docs are here [1] and will continue to be expanded. Quad is my Racket software for programmatically generating PDFs from markup, similar to how LaTeX works. It has been slow going because producing reasonable PDFs meant

Re: [pollen] Parallelism?

After some more fiddling, I think the problem was that the `current-poly-target` was not being communicated to the parallel rendering places, so they were just regenerating HTML when you asked for PDF. I just pushed a fix that addresses this. I don't have LaTeX on my machine right now, but let

Re: [pollen] parallel rendering fixes

I just use `raco pollen render -p` rather than plain `raco pollen render` in my Makefile, for the top directory in the project. I'd guess this is more efficient than `make -j x` because all the files are inventoried and then doled out to each processor as fast as they can be rendered. But try

Re: [pollen] Parallelism?

OK, I've pushed a parallel-rendering routine which you can access by passing the `-p` or `--parallel` flag to any invocation of `raco pollen render`. (I will leave it undocumented for now until it has proven itself). If you just do `raco pollen render -p` instead of `raco pollen render`, as I

Re: [pollen] Creating a meta from a .rkt file

Values on the right-hand side of `define-meta` can't be expressions or variables imported from elsewhere. They can only be raw datums. This is a deliberate limitation that goes back early in Pollen history, when folks decided they wanted to be able to extract metas (quickly) without evaluating

Re: [pollen] Custom pre-processing before pollen does its stuff

Without deterring any enthusiasm, be aware that this kind of thing (= using ordinary characters like * _ / as formatting delimiters) is trickier to get right than it looks. Usually, formatting codes can be nested recusrively, therefore regular expressions won't work on their own. If you plan on

Re: [pollen] Caching failed when doing setup on a subfolder?

I think there are two problems intersecting: 1) v7.3 seems to have changed something in the way data serialization works, which breaks Pollen's disk caches. That's not supposed to happen, but I guess it did. Anyhow try `raco pollen reset`. 2) I was being sloppy in how I handled paths in the
