โš„๏ธŽ Perchance

This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

See this post for the Complete Guide to Posting Here on the Community!

Rules

1. Please follow the Lemmy.World instance rules.

2. Be kind and friendly.

  • Please be kind to others on this community (and also in general), and remember that for many people Perchance is their first experience with coding. We have members for whom English is not their first language, so please be take that into account too :)

3. Be thankful to those who try to help you.

  • If you ask a question and someone has made a effort to help you out, please remember to be thankful! Even if they don't manage to help you solve your problem - remember that they're spending time out of their day to try to help a stranger :)

4. Only post about stuff related to perchance.

  • Please only post about perchance related stuff like generators on it, bugs, and the site.

5. Refrain from requesting Prompts for the AI Tools.

  • We would like to ask to refrain from posting here needing help specifically with prompting/achieving certain results with the AI plugins (text-to-image-plugin and ai-text-plugin) e.g. "What is the good prompt for X?", "How to achieve X with Y generator?"
  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

6. Search through the Community Before Posting.

  • Please Search through the Community Posts here (and on Reddit) before posting to see if what you will post has similar post/already been posted.

[Bug] $output with html [code] processing bug? Maybe? (lemmy.world)

I'm not sure if this is a bug or what, but there's something unexpected going on.

I've set up a test for you to see here: https://perchance.org/sxvghvl53i#edit

I've got an $output that creates HTML, which contains the code [a.html], but escaped so that it's not processed. So: \[a.html\].

This is then injected into the page, and actually processed correctly, replacing the contents with the a.html value. But then calling update() on that element either does nothing or throws an error of one kind or another.

It says that a_elem is undefined, when it should have already been injected into the page.

Honestly, I've been fiddling with this test for a while now and I can't quite pin down exactly how it works or what this works and that doesn't or what order things are being processed in... But some sort of shenanigans is going on.

If this is all working as expected, I'd love to learn how it works. But if not, consider this a bug report ๐Ÿ˜…
