When I try #lang scribble/text blah blah blah @(define f "woo") @f @f @f I get blah blah blah woo woo woo because space after a definition is ignored. So, I'm not sure I understand the example. But #lang scribble/text blah blah blah @(define f "woo") @(void) @f @f @f produces blah blah blah woo woo woo If I really wanted that `@(void)', in place, then I could add a `@;', which is a line comment that consumes a newline: #lang scribble/text blah blah blah @(define f "woo") @(void)@; @f @f @f which produces blah blah blah woo woo woo ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
