(By the way, I apologize if I use incorrect terminology. I know little about XML and DSSSL.)

I used "our-" as a prefix just to avoid namespace collisions. Perhaps a better name for "our-has?" is "node-list-some-recursive?". Since "our-is-p?" was used in just one place, I could have made it a lambda expression, but I don't usually get that LISPy. I could have generalized it more, by writing a "node-list-reduce-recursive" function and then use that for this. (define (our-is-p? node) (match-element? '(p) node)) ;; our-has?: #t if proc is true for any member of nl or its ;; descendents, #f otherwise. ;; It does a depth-first search, applying proc to each element it gets ;; to. It returns #t as soon as proc returns a true value for something. (define (our-has? proc nl) (if (node-list-empty? nl) #f (if (proc (node-list-first nl)) #t (if (our-has? proc (children (node-list-first nl))) #t (our-has? proc (node-list-rest nl)) ) ) ) ) Then the test is (if (our-has? our-is-p? (current-node)) (process-matching-children 'discussion) (literal " ") ) ) ;; make element DD I first tried (literal " ") Jade complained that it didn't recognize the "nbsp" entity. I replaced it with the numeric entity as above, and it puts in an octal 240 character -- I guess Jade replaced that entity at compile time, as it were. Filled with hope that I might be able to answer another of my own questions (how do I insert a literal newline?), I tried (literal "

 

") Alas, it stripped the newlines. -- Tim McDaniel (home); Reply-To: tmcd@xxxxxxxxx; work is tmcd@xxxxxxxxxxx DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
