The page
https://docs.racket-lang.org/molis-hai/index.html
specifies there are command line parameters, but does not say what they are.
In particular, I'm wondering how to specify:
the order
the number of bits of entropy
It does mention the -t flag to specify the source text.

I'm sending this here, not because it's directly related to Racket,
nor because i think you all are experts in make or GNU make, but
because you are reasonable erudite in language appreciation.
I, like many others, have been using a Makefile as a recipe to make a
lot of files from other files.
. Or to avoid
generating Makefiles altogether and directly implement make-like
semantics in Racket using its profound flexibility and then to use
Racket code to Make whatever I want.
But maybe, just maybe, there are already better tools than GNU make.

I'm thinking of converting some of my writing

It seems scribble likes to put its output where the document source is,
with a different file extension.

I's like to try mixing texts written in scribble with those written in

That other program produces HTML.
So what I want is, for this text, use some kind of element that
