pre-generating stuff to use later (lemmy.world)

I have a list of people and place-names and relationship-descriptions. I want to generate a few places with other info, but in addition, each place will have a list of people there (I can do that), but I also want each place to list relationships for the people there to people in other places. And, I need those other places to refer back through the relationships.

So, as far as I can figure out, I need to generate all that info ahead of time, before beginning to output the places with their people, descriptions, ... But I can't figure out how to make and store that info.

how to define CSS in the HTML block to avoid having to re-type it everywhere (lemmy.world)

I've tried adding a <style>...</style> block to the html but it seems to have no effect.

The CSS usage says to add style='whatever' on each place you want to apply some CSS. But I want to apply the same style in multiple places without having to re-type it and find/change each place when I change my mind.

TL;DR: I want to use CSS the way it's supposed to work

consumable list only providing one item by thargas in c/perchance@lemmy.world

Yes. That works great! Thanks again!

Since I'm wanting to be able to use this multiple times, for various lists, I end up with:

AdjectiveNoun(Adj, Noun)=>
  let combo=[];
  for(const a of Adj.selectAll) {
    for(const n of Noun.selectAll) {
      combo.push([a,n].join(' '));
    };
  };
  return [joinlists(combo).consumableList];

That's looking very promising! I can't try it right now, but I think it'll do, once I parameterize the function to allow passing in the two lists to be combined.

Thanks muchly!

Thanks @Almaumbria.

Unfortunately, it's not quite what I wanted. I'm wanting the effect of a consumable list where the elements are all the combinations of Adjective+Noun. I think I'll have to figure out how to iterate through each of Adjective and Noun and construct a new list with all the combinations and stash that. I've not written an function like Thing() before, so I'll have to think about that.

What's wrong here?

https://perchance.org/tee--temp#edit

Why does it say "no more items in the consumable 'Thing' list)"?

[Suggestion(ish)] Start new generators private instead of public by thargas in c/perchance@lemmy.world

People (myself included) are lazy and usually won't bother to make a change unless they have a specific reason. If the default were private then we wouldn't have the huge compendium of interesting pages to look through that we do.

Please keep the default public.

how to create a dynamic list and select from it? (lemmy.world)

E.G. I want to create a list of siblings and create relationships between them. I can generate as many names as required, and if I had a list of them it'd be easy [mylist.consumableList.selectMany(1,3)] to pick some of them.
