[racket-users] Scribble equivalent of rowspan

A very rookie question: I am trying to figure out how to specify the equivalent of HTML's rowspan attribute for tabular from scribble/base: that is, to have a cell which spans more than one row. In LaTeX, I think I would use "multirow" (but I'm no LaTeX expert). I know so know about 'cont, but I

[racket-users] small cosmetic comment

On the mailing lists section of the Racket site, there are users, announcements and dev groups. Underneath each are three IMG tags referencing bad urls, e.g. http://gmane.org/plot-rate.php?group=gmane.comp.lang.racket.user I just thought to mention it after seeing dead-link pictures for quite

Typed Racket uses this code: https://github.com/racket/typed-racket/blob/master/typed-racket-test/send-places.rkt to manage a job queue for testing. Sam On Tue, Nov 29, 2016 at 3:23 PM, Jay McCarthy wrote: > DrDr uses job-queue for a similar process > >

You can use the escape identifier: #lang scribble/manual @(require scribble/eval (for-label racket)) @interaction[ (define a (list 1)) (define b (list 1)) (code:comment @#,para{a and b are not @racket[eq?], but they are @racket[equal?]:}) (eq? a b) (equal? a b)] On Tue, Nov 29,

Re: [racket-users] Re: Adding new exceptions

In the case of `rename-file-or-directory`, it looks like `exn:fail:filesystem:exists` is not raised as intended on non-Windows platforms (broken as of v6.5). I'll fix that. Otherwise, I agree that using the `errno` field is the way to go when you have an `exn:fail:filesystem:errno` exception. The

Re: [racket-users] Re: Adding new exceptions

Hi, David. The exn:fail:filesystem and exn:fail:network do provide the errno code, If you are only working in one OS, you can also rely on the errno code. If you are working on multiple OSes, it might be a problem since Racket have not yet provided an abstract layer on the errno code. If you
