[racket-dev] scribble pdf

All I know is that when I run:

scribble ++extra floatflt.sty --pdf main.scrbl

It prints out 1000 lines. But when I normally use latex, I just type
"latex file" and it ends at the error.

This behaviour of scribble makes it totally useless for finding
problems. I've attached the output, in case you don't believe me.
