Renders @racket[_source-path]. The rendering behavior depends on the type of source file:
|
|
|
|
|
|
A @racketmodname[pollen/pre] file is rendered without a template.
|
|
|
|
|
|
A @racketmodname[pollen/markup] or @racketmodname[pollen/markdown] file is rendered with a template. If no template is provided with @racket[_template-path], Pollen finds one using @racket[get-template-for].
|
|
|
|
|
|
Be aware that rendering with a template uses @racket[include-template] within @racket[eval]. For complex pages, it can be slow the first time. Caching is used to make subsequent requests faster.
|
|
|
|
|
|
For those panicked at the use of @racket[eval], please don't be. As the author of @racket[include-template] has already advised, ``If you insist on dynamicism'' — and yes, I do insist — ``@link["http://docs.racket-lang.org/web-server/faq.html#%28part._.How_do_.I_use_templates__dynamically__%29"]{there is always @racket[eval].}''

|
|
|
Like @racket[render], but saves the file to @racket[_output-path], overwriting whatever was already there. If no @racket[_output-path] is provided, it's derived from @racket[_source-path] using @racket[->output-path].

|
|

[#:force force-render? boolean? #f])
|
|
|
void?]
|
|
|
Like @racket[render-to-file], but the render only happens if one of these conditions exist:
|
|
|
@itemlist[#:style 'ordered
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item{The @racket[_force-render?] flag — set with the @racket[#:force] keyword — is @racket[#t].}
|
|
|
@item{No file exists at @racket[_output-path]. (Thus, an easy way to force a render of a particular @racket[_output-path] is to delete it.)}
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item{Either @racket[_source-path] or @racket[_template-path] have changed since the last trip through @racket[render].}
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item{One or more of the project requires have changed.}]
|
|
|
|
|
|
If none of these conditions exist, @racket[_output-path] is deemed to be up to date, and the render is skipped.

@defproc[

|

void?]
|
|
|
Render multiple @racket[_source-paths] in one go. This can be faster than @racket[(for-each render _source-paths)] if your @racket[_source-paths] rely on a common set of templates. Templates may have their own source files that need to be compiled. If you use @racket[render], the templates will be repeatedly (and needlessly) re-compiled. Whereas if you use @racket[render-batch], each template will only be compiled once.

|
|
[(render-pagetree [pagetree pagetree?]) void?]
|

|
[(render-pagetree [pagetree-source pathish?]) void?])]
|
|
|
Using @racket[_pagetree], or a pagetree loaded from @racket[_pagetree-source], render the pages in that pagetree using @racket[render-batch].
|
|
|
|
|
|
@defproc[

(or/c #f complete-path?)]
|
|
|
Find a template file for @racket[_source-path], with the following priority:
|
|
|
@itemlist[#:style 'ordered
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item{If the metas for @racket[_source-path] have a key for @code[(format "~a" world:template-meta-key)], then use the value of this key.}
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item{If this key doesn't exist, or if it points to a nonexistent file, look for a default template in the project directory with the name @code[(format "~a.[output extension].~a" world:default-template-prefix world:template-source-ext)]. Meaning, if @racket[_source-path] is @code[(format "intro.html.~a" world:markup-source-ext)], the output path would be @code["intro.html"], so the default template would be @code[(format "~a.html.~a" world:default-template-prefix world:template-source-ext)].}
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item{If this file doesn't exist, use the fallback template as a last resort.}]
|
|
|
|
|
|
This function is called when a template is needed, but a @racket[_template-path] argument is missing (for instance, in @racket[render] or @racket[render-to-file]). |
