Hi all,
re: Racket 6.5, prebuilt Linux x86_64 distribution
on Centos 6.8
Had a crash in one of my headless webserver/database applications. The
application itself is 100% Racket (no FFI libs), using the webserver
and db modules heavily. The Racket install is default with no added
packages.
I am trying to use Scribble to produce nicely-formatted tables of data.
Some of these tables are both longer and wider than one printed page.
I would like to handle this similarly to typical spreadsheet programs,
which automatically create page breaks. Ideally, I'd also like to repeat

For making-TIkz like diagrams check out Jens Axel Søgaard's MetaPict
library. It has as an explicit goal "to narrow the gap between Scribble and
LaTeX + MetaPost/Tikz".
