 :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
   "(sxml->html
  '((script (@ (src \"foo.js\")))
    \"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!])
