# Shuwar

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/dramforever/shuwar.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/dramforever/shuwar)

Just a writing system, but with lisp-like syntax.

Inspired by [eido][] and [youki][]

## Usage

An "interactive shell":

    $ shuwar

Now try typing some expressions

    [print 1]

    [set ppp [lambda [x]

        [print x]

        [print x]

    ]]

    [ppp 1]

We have syntax support for writing: you can call functions like this

    puts | Each line

    puts | is an arg to the tag

    puts | Another

Remember to put a blank line after the last line

This should be the same as the following, but shuwar has no support for string literals, so it

will not work

    [dont type this block]

    [puts "Each line" "is an arg to the tag"]

    [puts "Another"]

If you load the nokogiri library, you can have some html

    [load #nokogiri]

    [set main_content

        [div #[

            class | content

            id    | main-content

        ]

    h1      | Sample

    ]

    [put_html

        [html [body

            main_content

        ]]

    ]

It's from `sample.swr`, you should look at it.

Note the attributes: it's the same as the following

    #[ [class

       | content

       ]

       [id

       | main-content

       ]]

However just as `sample.swr` says:

> It's looks like a hack, but it feels great!

We recommend this rather than the spell-out-by-hand method

We have `#` for quote

    [print #[print 1]]
