[racket] conditional includes in a Scribble file
Hey all,
I'm trying to use Scribble to create multiple forms of the same
document--for example, teacher and student editions of the same text.
Both documents share a lot of content, but also have differences.
I created a parameter and function:
(define edition (make-parameter "default"))
(define (only-edition v text)
(if (equal? (edition) v)
text
""))
so I could write
This content appears in both editions, @only-edition["student"]{while
this part is only in the student edition}@only-edition["teacher"]{but
only teachers see this}.
Unfortunately, this solution doesn't work for lists.
@itemlist[
@item{appears in both}
@only-edition["student"]{@item{appears in student}}
@only-edition["teacher"]{@item{appears in teacher}}
]
I get a contract violation saying that "" isn't valid where an item is
expected and the same thing happens with #void. I've solved this by
writing my own @itemlist* that filters out non-items before using
@itemlist. Is there a better way?
Also, if I do
@only-edition["teacher]{
@section{Curriculum Standards}
These are the state standards for this lesson:
@itemlist[@item{Blah}]}
I get an error because the stuff in the {...} is interpreted as
multiple arguments. I can fix the definition by putting a dot in front
of the text argument so that it can be a list, but then I need some
way to "unwrap" the list in the Scribble document. Is this possible?
Thanks!
Todd
