- :title "Rendering HTML with SXML and GNU Guile"
- :date (make-date* 2015 04 10)
- :tags '("gnu" "guile" "wsu")
- :summary "With a little effort, SXML can be used for HTML templates"
-
- (p [GNU Guile provides modules for working with XML documents called
- SXML. SXML provides an elegant way of writing XML documents as
- s-expressions that can be easily manipulated in Scheme. Here’s an
- example:])
-
- (source-code
- (scheme-source
- "(sxml->xml '(foo (bar (@ (attr \"something\")))))"))
-
- (source-code
- (xml-source
- "<foo><bar attr=\"something\" /></foo>"))
-
- (p [I don’t know about you, but I work with HTML documents much more
- often than XML. Since HTML is very similar to XML, we should be able
- to represent it with SXML, too!])
-
- (source-code
- (scheme-source
- "(sxml->xml
- '(html
- (head
- (title \"Hello, world!\")
- (script (@ (src \"foo.js\"))))
- (body
- (h1 \"Hello!\"))))"))
-
- (source-code
- (xml-source
- "<html>
- <head>
- <title>Hello, world!</title>
- <script src=\"foo.js\" /> <!-- what? -->
- </head>
- <body>
- <h1>Hello!</h1>
- </body>
-</html>"))
-
- (p [That ,(code [<script>]) tag doesn’t look right! Script tags
- don’t close themselves like that. Well, we could hack around it:])
-
- (source-code
- (scheme-source
- "(sxml->xml
- '(html
- (head
- (title \"Hello, world!\")
- (script (@ (src \"foo.js\")) \"\"))
- (body
- (h1 \"Hello!\"))))"))
-
- (source-code
- (xml-source
- "<html>
- <head>
- <title>Hello, world!</title>
- <script src=\"foo.js\"></script>
- </head>
- <body>
- <h1>Hello!</h1>
- </body>
-</html>"))
-
- (p [There’s no bug. The improper rendering happens because HTML, while
- similar to XML, has some different syntax rules. Instead of using
- ,(code [sxml->xml]) a new procedure that is tailored to the HTML syntax
- is needed. Introducing ,(code [sxml->html]):])
-
- (source-code
- (scheme-source
- "(define* (sxml->html tree #:optional (port (current-output-port)))
- \"Write the serialized HTML form of TREE to PORT.\"
- (match tree
- (() *unspecified*)
- (('doctype type)
- (doctype->html type port))
- (((? symbol? tag) ('@ attrs ...) body ...)
- (element->html tag attrs body port))
- (((? symbol? tag) body ...)
- (element->html tag '() body port))
- ((nodes ...)
- (for-each (cut sxml->html <> port) nodes))
- ((? string? text)
- (string->escaped-html text port))
- ;; Render arbitrary Scheme objects, too.
- (obj (object->escaped-html obj port))))"))
-
- (p [In addition to being aware of void elements and escape
-characters, it can also render ,(code ['(doctype "html")]) as
-,(code [<!DOCTYPE html>]). If we replace ,(code [sxml->xml])
-with ,(code [sxml->html]) in the failing example above we can see
-that it does the right thing.])

- (source-code
- (scheme-source

- \"Copyright © 2015 David Thompson <davet@gnu.org>\"))"))
-
- (source-code
- (xml-source
- "<script src=\"foo.js\"></script>
-Copyright © 2015 David Thompson &lt;davet@gnu.org&gt;"))
-
- (p [Here’s the full version of my ,(code "(sxml html)") module. It’s
-quite brief, which is a nice bonus. This code requires Guile 2.0.11
-or greater.])

- (p [Happy hacking!])
