Overview

RxWeb is an attempt to develop a framework for building small websites and applications using Retro.

Requirements

• Linux, BSD, or MacOS X
• Perl (to run the www-server)
• Make (for building)
• Retro (console implementation)

Features

• Pages are stored in the image
• Syntax is clean
• Use any Retro words or constructs
• Word names = page names

Todo

Want to help? Here's some stuff that needs to be done:

• Better support for embedding stylesheets, scripts
• Optionally escape output automatically:
• Testing

Example

: /
 ( html
   ( head ( title ." Demo Page" ) )
   ( body
     ( h1 ." Welcome to Retro" )
     ( p ." This is a test of the WWW package." )
   )
 )
;

The syntax is lispy, and is derived from Stefan's old retroweb system.
