Rationale behind using '#' character? about leaf HOT 3 CLOSED

The Leaf syntax was discussed on the forums a couple of years ago here - https://forums.swift.org/t/pitch-new-leaf-body-syntax/18188

We can revisit the syntax for the next major version, but it's not possible to change without a major breaking change.

As an aside, if you're concerned about your security attack surface you should be blocking inline CSS and JS with a CSP header and loading it from an external trusted source (or your own domain)

My use case necessitates the server have control over the CSS output, and we're talking a barebones stylesheet of just a few kb. Adding a whole new server/deployment workflow for one 2kb CSS file adds complexity I'm trying to avoid.

How a stylesheet gets served is beyond the point I was trying to make: Leaf, by design makes it difficult to create the kind of templates its presumably intended to serve - HTML ones.

This issue was designed to serve as a discussion point around changing the syntax in a future major version. I wasn't suggesting we put out a minor point update with a major breaking change. There was potentially also discussion to be had around avoiding false positives 🤷‍♂️

Sorry, didn't mean to come across like nothing was up for discussion! Rushing through issues is always fun! 😅

My suggestion would be to open an issue on the Swift forums to discuss new syntax for Leaf, that's a better place to have those discussions. Additionally, once #128 is solved, that should make inline CSS much easier
