This is a niche one but if anyone needs a hyperscript renderer more geared for an HTML-based workflow than JSX, I forked @developit’s excellent vhtml to implement a few things I need for Kitten¹.
https://codeberg.org/small-tech/vhtml
Main differences so far:
- Style tags are no longer escaped
- Boolean HTML attributes are emitted correctly (without ="true")
You probably want Jason’s original but putting this out there in case it helps anyone else.
Okay, I don't know what any of that means, but you do have to tell me how you did superscripts in a Mastodon toot.
@stevensrmiller @developit On Linux, you have something called the compose key that I have mapped to my Caps Lock (CL).
So if I want to do a superscript, I press CL + ^ + 1 (or 2, 3, etc.) and get ¹ ² ³…
Similarly, I can type CL + - + - + . to get an en dash (–), CL + - + - + - to get an em dash (—), or CL + t + m to get ™, etc.
@aral @stevensrmiller @developit And if you still wamt the caps lock functionality there is a way to map that to pressing both shifts to toggle it on and one shift to toggle it off.
@LJNielsenDk Haven’t really missed it (my programming in ALL CAPS in BASIC days are far behind me) :P @stevensrmiller @developit
Hard to believe, sometimes, that I started by punching my all-caps code into paper cards 50 years ago, and that (although we have lower case and interactive editors now) a loop is still a loop, an if is still an if, and indexing an array of size three with a three still gets an "out of bounds" error.
Our machines are thousands of times more powerful, but our code still looks the same.

wait what, how did you map it to Caps Lock? I want that too! 
@cr You can do it using GNOME Tweaks:

@aral @stevensrmiller @developit
And CL + ! + ? to get ‽
@aral @stevensrmiller @developit Maybe not exactly relevant in your context but can you install WinCompose to get the Compose Key in Windows too.
I use a US keyboard but work for a multi-national company and have to type modified characters all the time. Right-Alt + e + " -> ë. Right-Alt + s + s -> ß. Right Alt + C + = -> €.

@aral careful with that sanitization bypass:
h('style', {}, '</style><script>alert("hi")</script>')
@aral actually I think we could fix this in VHTML if you wanted - it's currently doing unnecessary entity encoding for text content. It should only be encoding `<`. The boolean prop thing it just something I forgot to add.
@developit I’m happy either way; didn’t want to create more work for you given your focus on the JSX/Preact stuff :)
@developit PS. Was just looking into this and CSS 4 now supports < and > in media queries so it’s not going to be trivial (still doable though, just more conditions to consider, e.g., env() can be used in media queries).
@developit Escaping </ where name === 'style' seems to do the trick.
@developit Unless I’m mistaken browsers don’t run scripts in style tags (I did test that as I was wondering whether browsers were dumb enough to run scripts in style tags) :)
@developit Oh, wait, I see what you did there. OK, right, yes, thanks :)
@developit (Mind you, I’m not sure what markup could result in that piece of hyperscript from htm/xhtm. Or maybe my brain is tired right now; will take a look again tomorrow) :)
@aral it'd really only matter if you were doing something like allowing user-submitted content within your stylesheet. As soon as you jump into a variable in the htm template string, you're relying on vhtml's entity encoding to ensure that variable isn't interpreted as HTML. Works a bit differently than VDOM, where the template is never parsed or assigned as HTML.
@developit G’morning :) Right, I don’t see that happening in regular use but, still, someone somewhere might decide that’s a good idea at some point so better safe than sorry :)
