[racket] Scribble question
Are you running `scribble' through the command line?
If so, add `++xref-in setup/xref load-collections-xref' to the command:
scribble ++xref-in setup/xref load-collections-xref doc.scrbl
That means "load all the cross-reference information for installed
documents", so that Scribble knows where to point the link for `map'.
The "Scribble HTML" button in DrRacket adds that automatically. If
you're already using DrRacket or it doesn't work on the command line,
maybe there's a problem with the doc installation?
Eventually, you'll probably want those links to go to some other web
site, instead of the docs installed on the machine where you run
Scribble. In that case, you'll want to add something like
--redirect-main http://docs.racket-lang.org/
to the command line. The `--redirect-main' flag generates links to go
through "docs.racket-lang.org" instead of your local copy (under the
assumption that the pages at "docs.racket-lang.org" have the same HTML
page and anchor names as your installation, which is usually an ok
assumption, since Scribble is designed to generate them consistently).
