Your zip file

seems to be broken. I cannot unzip it.
Could you check it ?

Thanks.

This is great! I too am building a web application using OpenLaszlo and Lisp; unlike yourself, I haven’t done anything similar before, so I look forward to learning a lot from your code. Thanks very much for making it available.

Sweet!

I got here via a web search for lisp xml generation. I’m doing a lot of generating of XML for various XML-based languages, which seems like a perfect match for Lisp, but there isn’t much in the way of XML *generation* libraries for Lisp.

This is almost exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks!

The one thing that’s not clear to me is: this works great if you have a template you want to fill in with various values, but what if you want the structure of your XML to be determined at runtime? It’s easy to say (:text …) 4 times for 4 text boxes, but what if I want /n/ boxes, based on my data? It looks like I’d need another macro to generate *that* (with ,@…), and that makes my head start to hurt again, which makes me think it’s not really the best approach. Hmm.

Anyway, keep up the good work!
