@title{Core}
@defmodule[pollen/core]
These functions are automatically imported into every Pollen source file (meaning, as if they had been included in your @filepath{pollen.rkt}).
@section{Syntactic forms}
@defform[(define-meta name value)]
Add @racket[_value] to the metas of the current document, using @racket[_name] as the key.
You can retrieve a meta value  even in the same document where you define it with @racket[(select-from-metas _name metas)].
For an introduction to metas, see @secref["Inserting_metas"].
@defform[(when/splice condition pollen-args)]
If @racket[_condition] is true, put the @racket[_pollen-args] into the document. Within a template file, usually invoked like so:
@verbatim{◊when/splice[@racketvarfont{condition}]{The text to insert.}}
The inserted text can contain its own nested Pollen commands.
@racket[when/splice] can be more convenient than @racket[when], because @racket[when] will only use the last argument between the curly braces. @racket[when/splice], by contrast, treats everything between the curly braces as a block.
@section{Data helpers}
Functions for retrieving data out of Pollen source files. These are not the only options  you can, of course, use any of the usual Racket functions.
@defproc[
(get-doc
[doc-source (or/c pagenode? pathish?)])
(or/c txexpr? string?)]
Retrieve the @racket[doc] export from @racket[_doc-source], which can be either a path, path string, or pagenode that can be resolved into a source path. If @racket[_doc-source] cannot be resolved, raise an error.
If @racket[_doc-source] is a relative path or pagenode, it is treated as being relative to @racket[world:current-project-root]. If that's not what you want, you'll need to convert it explicitly to a complete-path (e.g., with @racket[path->complete-path] or @racket[->complete-path]).
If @racket[world:current-main-export] has been overridden with a project-specific value, then that is retrieved instead.
@defproc[
(get-metas
[meta-source (or/c pagenode? pathish?)])
hash?]
Retrieve the @racket[metas] export from @racket[_meta-source], which can be either a path, path string, or pagenode that can be resolved into a source path. If @racket[_meta-source] cannot be resolved, raise an error.
If @racket[_meta-source] is a relative path or pagenode, it is treated as being relative to @racket[world:current-project-root]. If that's not what you want, you'll need to convert it explicitly to a complete-path (e.g., with @racket[path->complete-path] or @racket[->complete-path]).
If @racket[world:current-meta-export] has been overridden with a project-specific value, then that is retrieved instead.

@defproc[
(select*

)]
Find matches for @racket[_key] in @racket[_value-source]. The @racket[_value-source] can be 1) a hashtable of @racket[metas], 2) a tagged X-expression representing a @racket[doc], or 3) a pagenode or path that identifies a source file that provides @racket[metas] and @racket[doc]. In that case, first look for @racket[_key] in @code{metas} (using @racket[select-from-metas]) and then in @code{doc} (using @racket[select-from-doc]).
With @racket[select], you get the first result; with @racket[select*], you get them all.
In both cases, you get @racket[#f] if there are no matches.
Note that if @racket[_value-source] is a relative path or pagenode, it is treated as being relative to @racket[world:current-project-root]. If that's not what you want, you'll need to convert it explicitly to a complete-path (e.g., with @racket[path->complete-path] or @racket[->complete-path]).

Look up the value of @racket[_key] in @racket[_doc-source]. The @racket[_doc-source] argument can be either 1) a tagged X-expression representing a @racket[doc] or 2) a pagenode or source path that identifies a source file that provides @racket[doc]. If no value exists for @racket[_key], you get @racket[#f].
Note that if @racket[_doc-source] is a relative path or pagenode, it is treated as being relative to @racket[world:current-project-root]. If that's not what you want, you'll need to convert it explicitly to a complete-path (e.g., with @racket[path->complete-path] or @racket[->complete-path]).

Look up the value of @racket[_key] in @racket[_meta-source]. The @racket[_meta-source] argument can be either 1) a hashtable representing @racket[metas] or 2) a pagenode or source path that identifies a source file that provides @racket[metas]. If no value exists for @racket[_key], you get @racket[#f].
