+
+## Handlebars Themes
+
+Handlebars is a simple templating language, and great for themes that don't do much complicated.
+The builtin `plain` theme is written in handlebars, and any themes that want to just relay the basic scrobble info should be written in it.
+
+If you're looking to do more complicated effects, or need server-side computation, see below on writing [Lua Themes](#lua-themes).
+Handlebars should __not__ be used if you're looking to do advanced effects.
+
+All builtin handlebars themes are located at [`/src/theming/hbs`](https://git.aleteoryx.me/cgit/lfm_embed/tree/src/theming/hbs).
+
+The following [helpers](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/expressions.html#helpers) are provided, on top of the handlebars [builtins](https://handlebarsjs.com/guide/builtin-helpers.html):

+- `(eq Object Object) => Boolean`: Check equality between its args.
+
+- `(ne Object Object) => Boolean`: Check inequality between its args.
+
+- `(gt Number|String Number|String) => Boolean`: Check if the first arg is greater than the second.
+
+- `(gte Number|String Number|String) => Boolean`: Check if the first arg is greater than or equal to the second.
+
+- `(lt Number|String Number|String) => Boolean`: Check if the first arg is less than the second.

+
+## Lua Themes
+
+Lua is a powerful scripting language, for themes that need to do a lot of math on the server.
+`lfm_embed` uses the [Luau](https://luau-lang.org/) implementation, specicially.
+
+You are provided with only the `table`, `string`, `utf8`, `bit`, and `math` stdlib modules.
+You are also provided with the `html` global.
+
+- `html(el: String, tbl: Table) => String`: Generates the HTML for `<el>`, with the sequential entries in `tbl` as concatenated text, and the named entries as attributes. Sequential entries wrapped in a table will be escaped.
+
+- `html.<el>(tbl: Table) => String` Functions like `html`, but with the index name as the element type. It is intended to be called like `html.a{"Homepage", href = "/"}`.
+
+- `html.root(tbl: Table) => String` Generates the root of an HTML document, including doctype, processing `tbl` as normal.
+
+Example:
+
+```lua
+print(html.root{html.body{html.p{"Check out my cool site!"}}})
+-- <!DOCTYPE html>
+-- <html><body><p>Check out my cool site!</p></body></html>
+
+print(html.p{ "This <b>doesn't</b> get escaped, ", {"but this <b>does</b>!"} })
+-- <p>This <b>doesn't</b> get escaped, but this &lt;b&gt;does&lt;/b&gt;!</p>
+```
+
+### Writing a Lua Theme
+
+Lua theme scripts are expected to return a function which takes one argument, the [Context Object](#the-context-object), and return a fully formed html document.
+They may contain anything as far as locals go, but are not allowed to manipulate the global context.
+The returned function will be repeatedly called for any incoming request.
+
+Lua themes should have, roughly, the skeleton below:
+
+```lua
+local stylefmt = [[
+/* font css */
+%s
+* { font-size: %spx; }
+%s
+/* actual styles go here*/
+]]
+
+return function(ctx)
+ local contents
+ local style
+ if ctx.error then
+ contents = html.p{{ctx.error}}
+ style = ""
+ else
+ contents = ""
+ if not ctx.font then ctx.font = {} end
+ local font_setter = ""
+ if ctx.font.name then
+ font_setter = string.format("* { font-family: '%s'; }", ctx.font.name)
+ end
+ local font_px
+ -- hack to deal with chrome being weird
+ if ctx.font then font_px = 17
+ elseif ctx.font.scale then font_px = 20 * ctx.font.scale
+ else font_px = 20 end
+ style = string.format(stylefmt, ctx.font.css or "", font_px, font_setter)
+ end
+ return html.root{lang = "en",
+ html.head{
+ html.meta{charset = "UTF-8"},
+ html.style{style}
+ },
+ html.body{contents}
+ }
+end
+```
