Clojurians Log v2

I'm having some issues with garden parsing some content fields, specifically errors with some of the entities/glyph codes e.g. "\039F". Is there something special I need to do or is this not possible?

@dfcarpenter Do you have a sample of the code you’ve tried? I can help try to work out a solution.

`

[:li.progtrckr-todo {:color "silver"
                        :border-bottom "4px solid silver"}
    [:&:before {:content "\039F"
                :color "silver"
                :background-color "#fff"
                :width (em 1.2)
                :line-height (em 1.4)}]
    [:&:hover:before {:color "#ff4500"}]]

Error: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid digit: 9, compiling:(frontend/wizard.clj:32:31)

@dfcarpenter “\039f” isn’t a valid character string. IIRC, the “\0" prefix means octal notation, which can only have digits 0-7. Maybe you meant “\u039f”?

I was looking at this

`
p:before { content:"\039f"; }

It has that example for a micron

Ah, my guess would be that the string works in straight CSS, but since you’re using garden, it starts out being a Java string and gets interpreted under Java rules.

So to translate it to Java, add the “u” after the “\”

ahh yes. I tried that and it worked

Thank you

An unrelated question have you used garden 2.0? Is it worth switching to?

Not me, no. I’m lurking here because I’ve always been interested in the premise of garden, but I never really got around to using it “in anger”.
