In the case of the template processor code here, the *; ;* code to fill in the dynamic content is written in Scheme and appears *; ;* inline in the template file. *; ;* *; ;* Areas of Scheme code in the template file are delimited by $. For *; ;* example: *; ;* *; ;* This page was processed by Guile $(display (version))$ *; ;* *; ;* here (display (version)) is interpreted and processed as Scheme code; *; ;* the rest is normal (HTML) content. *; ;* *; ;* If either normal content or Scheme code needs to include a $ character, *; ;* it can do so by doubling the $, as in: Price $$10.20. *; ;* *; ;* Fragments of Scheme code do not have to be individually balanced. For *; ;* example: *; ;* *; ;* $(for-each (lambda (x)$ *; ;*
  • The square of $(display x)$ is $(display (* x x))$
  • *; ;* $ ) (iota 11))$ *; ;* *; ;* A shorthand is provided for cases where a fragment only wants to display *; ;* a variable. This is $~FORMAT VARNAME$, for example $~A x$. ~FORMAT is a *; ;* format specifier understood by (ice-9 format), and VARNAME is the name of *; ;* the variable to display. *; ;* *; ;* It may sometimes help to know the exact algorithm in order to write a *; ;* piece of template file code correctly. It is as follows. *; ;* *; ;* 1. Convert the template file - even the normal content - into a big *; ;* Scheme code string by: *; ;* *; ;* - converting each fragment of normal content to `(display FRAGMENT)' *; ;* *; ;* - converting each `~FORMAT VARNAME' fragment to *; ;* `(format #t ~FORMAT VARNAME)' *; ;* *; ;* - copying other Scheme code fragments as written. *; ;* *; ;* 2. Read and evaluate this string in an environment as specified by the *; ;* arguments to process-template. *; ;* *; ;*****************************************************************************; ;*****************************************************************************; ;* template->code *; ;* *; ;* Reads a template file and returns the Scheme code that should be read and *; ;* evaluated to generate the implied output. *; ;*****************************************************************************; (define (template->code template) ;***************************************************************************; ;* Utility procedure: convert any occurrences of "$$" in STRING to just *; ;* "$". *; ;***************************************************************************; (define (unescape-$$ string) (cond ((string-match "\\$\\$" string) => (lambda (match-data) (string-append (substring string 0 (match:start match-data 0)) "$" (unescape-$$ (substring string (+ (match:start match-data 0) 1)))))) (else string))) ;***************************************************************************; ;* Utility procedure: given a string read from the template file, after *; ;* splitting between scheme and non-scheme parts, return the Scheme code *; ;* corresponding to the template string. *; ;***************************************************************************; (define (make-code-string template-string in-scheme) (if in-scheme ;*********************************************************************; ;* Template string should be interpreted as Scheme code.
