14:28 <razzy> Hi all. Regenaxer I am looking at Vip. I am curious how do you process lisp code, without executing it. Is it finite state machine mentioned in "documentation"?

14:28 <Regenaxer> Hi razzy!

14:28 <Regenaxer> How do you mean "process"?

14:29 <Regenaxer> the 'markup' function using 'state'?

14:30 <razzy> process meaning: read random lisp file, parsing, marking up comments etc, write random lisp file.

14:31 <Regenaxer> yes, right

14:31 <Regenaxer> can be any file, not only Lisp

14:32 <Regenaxer> Comments and other markup are done in 'markup'

14:32 <Regenaxer> line 129

14:33 <Regenaxer> read file + write file are handled in buffers

14:33 <Regenaxer> i.e. +Buffer objects

14:33 <razzy> to rephrase, how do you safely work with lisp file without messing up your Vip enviroment

14:34 <Regenaxer> To Vip they are just text files

14:34 <Regenaxer> not executed unless explicitly told so

14:34 <razzy> where do you do that pls

14:35 <Regenaxer> (dm load> ... reads a file into a buffer

14:35 <Regenaxer> (dm save> ... saves it

14:36 <razzy> looking it up

14:36 <Regenaxer> good

14:37 <Regenaxer> Lisp code is evaluated if you press Ctrl-E on an expression

14:37 <Regenaxer> ("^E" (evCmd (eval (s-expr)))) # Evaluate expression

14:45 <razzy> sooo, as sideeffect, vip can safely handle only utf-8, right? (it is not bad thing, just checking my understanding)

14:46 <Regenaxer> Correct. Pil in general expects always UTF-8

14:58 <razzy> Regenaxer: thank you

14:58 <Regenaxer> Welcome razzy!
