[plt-scheme] Embedding scheme in web pages

Hi Maarten,

It's doable.  (I was thinking of possibly porting something like Terrence 
Parr's StringTemplate library to PLT Scheme, but the school semester just 
started, so I shouldn't have time at the moment... *grin*)


Still, you should be able to do something like this with straight 
servlets, in the style described in Section 3 of:

     http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP/Extended/servlets.html

If you stick within the DrScheme environment, you'll get a lot of tool 
support, including lexical scope and variable renaming support, which is 
pretty nice.


You'll probably want a servlet involved in the loop anyway.  Servlets 
provide a context for doing things like getting request parameters: if 
you're generating some kind of dynamic content, you'll probably need that 
context to produce interesting values.

Best of wishes!
