§ The make Command

The make command creates new class instances or DOM elements. You can optionally name the result with called.

In the first form, you construct a class instance -- make a URL from "/path/", "https://origin.example.com" is equivalent to JavaScript's new URL("/path/", "https://origin.example.com").

In the second form, you create a DOM element -- make an <a.navlink/> creates an <a> element with the class "navlink". Currently, only classes and IDs are supported in the query selector.

§ Examples

def formatPizzaToppings(toppings)
  make an Intl.ListFormat from "en", { type: "conjunction" }
    called listFmt

  for part in listFmt.formatToParts(toppings)
    if the part's type is "element"
      make a <span.topping/>
      put the part's value into its textContent
      append it to #toppings
    else
      append the part's value to #toppings
    end
  end
