[racket] code to HTML

If you want to see the code in a Web browser window (not even use 
DrRacket as a helper program launched from the browser for a Racket MIME 
type), then I like Robby's suggestion of how to use Scribble.

You might have to see whether the parts of Scribble you need are fast 
enough to format on-the-fly for a responsive Web interface, or whether 
you need to precompute that.

If all else fails, writing a simple syntax colorer from scratch is a 
small task, so long as you don't need symbol/ident information other 
than a small fixed set of what are "the keywords".  You could make this 
task an extra-credit homework problem for students. :)
