Right. My understanding increases bit by bit. I’m using response/xexpr, which — unlike your xexpr->html — doesn’t special-case script and style tags. Funny, I had read through your txexpr docs, but the special-casing of script and style didn’t jump out at me at the time, and I had forgotten it by the time I needed it.
cdata it is. Thanks to people like you, Racket does what I need, as usual. The problem is I don’t always know what I need. > On Sep 19, 2017, at 4:53 PM, Matthew Butterick <m...@mbtype.com> wrote: > > >> On Sep 19, 2017, at 1:36 PM, Byron Davies <byrondav...@starshine.us >> <mailto:byrondav...@starshine.us>> wrote: >> >> In strings, xexpr->xml converts "<>&” into <, etc. I’m sure this was >> well-intentioned, but in my use of web-server, I use javascript scripts >> through the (script “…”) form.
