[racket-users] Modify Scribble HTML for integration with site

I would like to include some scribble/manual docs as part of a larger web site, and would like to provide some extra navigation links for the reader so they can see “how to get back out again”. Is there a facility within Scribble for augmenting the HTML just after the beginning of the tag? I

I’m no expert, but since no one else has chimed in: if you’re distributing a program (vs a library) and you want it to work regardless of whether Racket is installed, what you probably want is to compile your program using raco distribute (https://docs.racket-lang.org/raco/exe-dist.html). Then
