5911 :: Is there a good way to insert anchors in text with Karax?

• iranika (orginal) [2020-02-10T05:16:34+01:00] view original

  Hi. I want to generate the following HTML using karax.

  
  <div>
    This is description text.<br>
    I want to add link.<br>
    Example:<br>
    Nim install guide is <a href="https://nim-lang.org/install.html">here</a>.<br>
  </div>
  Run

  I think I came up with the following code.

  
  const description = """
  This is description text.
  I want to add link in text.
  Example:
  Nim install guide is <a href="https://nim-lang.org/install.html">here</a>.
  """
  
  proc createDom(): VNode =
    result = buildHtml(tdiv):
      for line in description.spritLine:
        text line
        br()
  
  setRenderer createDom
  Run

  But, anchor tags are escaped. I know it's safe and good.

  This can be achieved with the following code. But, I don't like this. Is there any other good way?

  
  proc createDom(): VNode =
    result = buildHtml(tdiv):
      text "This is description text."
      br()
      text "I want to add link."
      br()
      text "Example:"
      br()
      text "Nim install guide is "
      a(href="https://nim-lang.org/install.html"):
        text "here"
  Run
