That's me.

You can use the 'exact-chars style property on an element.
If possible, it's usually better to add a Latex macro that adds
Latex-specific things and calls the macro with regular content. Then
it's easier to make HTML and other backends work, but it's not always
easy or possible to encode what you want that way.

I don't think there's a simple way to do that, currently. When I need
optional arguments, I make another Latex macro that takes non-optional
arguments and chains to the one that that optional arguments.

Generally, it's best to support HTML output, but I don't think there's
a simple and general-purpose answer of how to make it work. It always
takes some combination of Racket and ".tex" and ".css".
