I'm trying to write a macro to demonstrate svg-code in a defcard-rg. Being a macro noob I have a problem: how to insert the cord into the description-string.

the lower part executes the supplied code correctly, but I'm not sure how to display the codein the description

usage: (codedemo example 120 [:circle {:cx 12 :cy 20 :r 7}])

@mmeix: (str " '''" ~code "'''")

ah ...

trying

' = your backticks

ok

tricky

for slack formatting

no, that doesn't work, alas ...

@mmeix: you probably want to wrap ~code in a sablono html macro?

depending on what you want to display

or you just want to present the code as a string?

in the description: the code as a string, and then underneath the executed code

if I remove the description part, the code gets executed correctly

so no need for sablono (it_s in a defcard-rg, so I guess this the correct environment

it's just the building of the description string with the inserted code

(defmacro code-demo
  [cardname svg-height code]
  `(defcard-rg ~cardname
     (str "'''" ~code "'''")
    [:svg {:width "100%" :height ~svg-height}
      ~code]))

(macroexpand '(code-demo example 120 [:circle {:cx 12 :cy 20 :r 7}]))
;; =>  
(cellophane.dom-test/defcard-rg example
  (clojure.core/str "'''" [:circle {:cx 12, :cy 20, :r 7}] "'''")
  [:svg {:width "100%", :height 120} [:circle {:cx 12, :cy 20, :r 7}]])

seems OK to me?

ok, let me try this

it seems, that the usage of backticks in devcard's markdown format for description strings collides somehow with using them in a macro ...

it shouldn't, if they are in a string

I get a card saying

" 

"  

will try more - thanks for hints!

isn't that what you wanted?

no

this is what I want to accomplish

I think I know what's the problem

in this case I'm using a couple of functions, which create svg

use (str "'''\n" ~code "\n'''")

trying

probably needs the line breaks

alas, no

ok, no high priority, was just a nice idea

:simple_smile:

doesn't seem right

as in, it should work

maybe it's the double usage of backticks, maybe they are not eval'd correctly in this case, sort of a corner case

shouldn't be

a macro calling a macro doesn't have special requirements, or does it?

(I'm really just starting with macros ...)

not really

ok
