[plt-scheme] Embedding scheme in web pages

Noel,

What do you view as being the 'right' way to build such web sites?  Do you mean building programs that generate the appropriate HTML/Javascript on-the-fly, or some other templating system?

I'm quite interested in hearing your experiences.

Thanks,

-Brent

I don't advocate it as a good way to build web sites (I
fact, I think the opposite) but if you want to embed Scheme
in HTML you can use the preprocessor library.  Delimit your
Scheme with << >> and use the command line mzpp or
apply-template given below.

Let me know if you have any quesitons on the code.

Cheers,
Noel


(module preprocess mzscheme

  (require (lib "mzpp.ss" "preprocessor")
           (planet "namespace.ss" ("schematics"
"namespace.plt")))

  (provide apply-template)
  
  ;; apply-template : (U string port) (alist-of symbol any)
-> string
  (define (apply-template template bindings)
    (let ((op (open-output-string)))
      (parameterize
        ((current-output-port op))
        (let ((ns (make-namespace 'initial)))
          (namespace-attach/require
           ns
           '(lib "mzpp.ss" "preprocessor"))
          (with-namespace
           ns
           (for-each
            (lambda (cell)
              (let ((key (car cell))
                    (val (cdr cell)))
                (eval `(define ,key ,val))))
            bindings)
           (eval `(preprocess ,template)))))
      (get-output-string op)))
