I wonder whether I can use scribble as script a scripting language, to generate html on the fly. Consider the following minipage:
http://advocacia.me/rkt/pages.r Here is the script that generated it: #!/usr/bin/env racket/bin/racket #lang racket (display (~a "Content-type: text/html <html> <body> <h1>Racket for CGI</h1> <p>One often cannot use Racket to serve html pages. Inexpensive hosting services stick to Apache, and that is it.</p> <h2>CGI</h2> Let us see how to use CGI from Racket, etc. etc. <h2>ssh</h2> You need to get permission from your hosting service to use ssh. Then create a rkt folder, and give it chmod a+x rkt permission. Then create a .htaccess file, and inform Apache abour Racket extensions... <p>Addhandler .rkt .s .r</p> <p>And that is all.</p> </body> </html> ")) If the author of this minipage could write scripts in scribble, it would become something like this: #!/usr/bin/env racket/bin/scribble --script #lang scribble/base @title{Racket for CGI} One often cannot use Racket to serve html pages. Inexpensive hosting services stick to Apache, and that is it. @section{CGI} Let us see how to use CGI from Racket, etc. etc. @section{ssh} You need to get permission from your hosting service to use ssh. Then create a rkt folder, and give it chmod a+x rkt permission. bla, bla, bla... I guess this feature is very easy to implement, and would be appreciated.
