I'm pulling records from a database, and I don't know how many I'll have. I need to display them in a 3 by X grid built in CSS. So it needs to look something like:
(:div :class "row"

(:div :class "span-one-third" "1/3")
(:div :class "span-one-third" "1/3")
(:div :class "span-one-third" "1/3"))

Since I don't know how many rows are returning, I can't really hard code it like the above example.

I'm new to lisp, so I may just be thinking about this in the wrong way. In Java, opening a tag like this and closing it is a very common pattern. Maybe I'm just thinking too much in Java...

Here's one way:

(let ((records '((1 2 3) (4 5 6) (7 8 9))))
(with-html-output (*standard-output* nil :indent 0)
(dolist (rec records)
(htm (:div :class "row"
(dolist (col rec)
(htm (:div :class "span-one-third" (str col)))))))))
