I'm thinking of trying Scribble again now that I have a new computer. I found it unacceptably slow years ago when I tried it on a 80,000 word novel. I now, however, have a modern machine and it may be fast enough.
I have a few questions before I convert *everything* I'm doing to scribble. Each of these questions are relevant to a particular planned use. The more of them have positive answers, the more projects I'll be able to scribblify. (1) How does scribble handle mathematical notation? Presumably there's a hack for when I'm generating TeX, but is there anything reasonable when generating HTML? Mathjax is somewhat tolerable, but mathML would be nice. (2) How can I produce category-theoretical diagrams, such as the one on top of page 29 in section 3.7 in the pdf file https://www.logicmatters.net/resources/pdfs/GentleIntro.pdf Oh yes, category theorists also use different shapes of arrow heads and tails just to challenge us computer people. (3) Are there practical ways of including images whose source code might be jpegs ot pngs? (4) How can I include other scribble files into a main scribble file *without* making it a separate section? The tutorial https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/getting-started.html mentions include-section, but I'm looking for something like just C's #include. (5) How can I make text conditional on the presence or absence of a command-line parameter of the value of a global variable? (6) How do I achieve precise, line-by-line control of indentation for poetry? -- hendrik -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
