Dynamic text in a wrapped widget

[goerz]

How can I have a string as part of a wrapped markdown string? The following does not quite do the right thing:

MHz = 1.0
ms = 1.0

function ChirprateTextfield(; default=40.0, name="α", unit=:(MHz/ms))	
	textfield = TextField(default=string(default))
	transform = input -> parse(Float64, input) / (eval(unit))
	PlutoUI.Experimental.wrapped() do Child
		md"$name $(Child(PlutoUI.Experimental.transformed_value(transform, textfield))) $(string(unit))"
	end
end

It inserts name with quotes around it and a line break. What I'm trying to achieve is the output I would get if I replace $name directly with α inside the md string:

That is, as a single line, and without quotes.

After a little experimentation, I found that inserting a single space right after md" did what you were after.

I cannot explain why. 😅

It seems that $name is rendered differently when it is at the beginning of a line. (The string(unit) at the end of the line was originally rendered without double quotes.) There seem to be some inconsistencies in Julia's markdown implementation.

You can also use Text(name) instead of just name to disambiguate.

I also recommend taking a look at HypertextLiteral.jl when making custom widgets! It gives you complete control over layout, color, etc.

HTML+CSS is easier to learn than you might think :)
