Document ({ /* arbitrary Rust code */ })

[trombonehero]

I wasn't able to find anything in the Maud documentation about the fact that splices can contain arbitrary Rust code, including compound expressions. I did stumble on #11, which contains a comment referencing ${ ... } before I created a bug about type inference, but it would be useful if the documentation had an example of this kind of thing. For instance:

p ({
  let user:User = try![database.lookup(userid)];
  user.name
})

This is also an example of the kind of thing that can fail when using Maud @let directives: they don't accept type annotations, so I sometimes get "the type of this value must be known in this context" errors.

You can use

@let ...;
@if let...;

This style I supported but refused.

@ {
   // Arbitrary code here.
}

The documentation can be found at https://github.com/lfairy/maud-book. I'm too swamped with work at the moment to edit it myself, but if you have the time then I'd welcome a pull request.

I think @let not supporting type annotations is a bug. I've filed that as #73.

Thanks! I've created lambda-fairy/maud-book#1.

I believe @trombonehero's PR closes this issue.
