through looking at the code and noticing some slightly different styles to compare to my own, i have a simple question on the overhead of escaping quotation marks in strings.
the normal way:
[append output "<a href=\"file-list?path=$path\"] or even
[append output "<a href=file-list?path=$path>"]
they way that seems way easier to me:
[append output [subst {
<a href="file-list?path=$path">test</a>
}]
this way i can cut and paste html/text and never have to spend any time escaping characters. this came about while trying to optimize storyserver's slothfull homebrew api. it actually managed to speed things up quite a bit, and made html easier to manage for designers in our setup.
...is there a performance hit for running subst on a string? or for a page running a bunch of subst's on a bunch of text chunks requested by a bunch of people? vs regular slash substitution?
i'm lazy. i hate having to do \" and \" every couple of lines.
