Custom command-char leading to incorrect HTML output

[typesanitizer]

raco pollen version = 2.1.2229.709

I was trying out the tutorial

;; pollen.rkt
#lang racket/base

(require pollen/tag)
(provide (all-defined-out))
(define headline (default-tag-function 'h2))
(define items (default-tag-function 'ul))
(define item (default-tag-function 'li 'p))
(define (link url text) `(a ((href ,url)) ,text))

(module setup racket/base
  (provide (all-defined-out))
  (define command-char #\%)) ;; This is ok?

;; index.html.pm
#lang pollen

%headline{Pollen markup}

%items{
  %item{You %strong{wanted} it — you %em{got} it.}
  %item{%link["https://google.com/search?q=racket"]{search for Racket}}
}

However, when I run raco pollen render index.html.pm, the output index.html is simply

◊(->html (html (head (meta #:charset "UTF-8")) (body doc)))

Am I doing something incorrectly or is this a bug?

The default HTML template uses a lozenge as the command char. You would need to make your own template (even just copying the default) with your custom command char.

Thanks, that explains it! In case anyone is reading this in the future: I followed the instructions here and added a template.html.p file to fix the issue:

%(->html (html (head (meta #:charset "UTF-8")) (body doc)))
