Thanks.  This gave me the search terms I needed to find:

section 17.2 of 
http://pre.racket-lang.org/docs/html/reference/collects.html

which describes how libraries work, and

http://download.plt-scheme.org/doc/html/

  which contains a link to some docs for the html library, at

http://download.plt-scheme.org/doc/html/html/index.html

Are these the official locations for this information?

I'm still on DrScheme, which is what's in the stable version of Debian, 
which is currently on my laptop.  Prsumably this will be replaced by 
DrRacket when I upgrade to testing.

There's examples of this in http://download.plt-scheme.org/doc/html/html/index.html
