Re: Using shtml with htmlprag - output of shtml->html is different to some given HTML

[Kenan Toker]

Hi Neil,

Brilliant! I'm using the version which is bundled with the guile-lib
0.2.6.1 - https://www.nongnu.org/guile-lib/ for website,
https://download.savannah.nongnu.org/releases/guile-lib/ for download.

I haven't tried using a different version than this. I can also see from
the header that this version was `forked` (I'm not sure if that's the
best way to put it) and built into guile-lib in 2004. If trying a
different version of htmlprag is a good idea I can give that a go too.

Re: porting html-parsing and generally working with RnRS again, that
sounds like a good project. As it happens, when I was searching around
for more info about htmlprag I came across html-parsing, and I thought
that maybe it could drop easily into Guile but a glance at the code
confirmed this wasn't to be. It looks like a great library.

Cheers,
Kenan
