But he wants it the other way around: he wants to write small pieces in 
Scribble, render to LaTeX, and \include in a larger LaTeX document. 
Which would require some sort of scripted postprocessing of the 
LaTeX-from-Scribble fragment (not bad -- just removing the first several 
lines and the \end{document}), plus various includes in the larger 
document that the Scribble output expects. Can be done, but so far I'm 
not finding it hard to go the other way, converting LaTeX documents to 
Scribble. Of course, I haven't tried to do serious math, or serious 
tables. --PR

(PS I'm curious as to what Matthias intends to do when HtDP/2e gets to 
the point where people want a paper version.)
