[racket] a few small Scribble questions
None of the things that you want are directly available, I think. For
many of them, you can use `make-element-id-transformer' to set the way
that an identifier is typeset by `racketblock', etc. (in which cae
you'll probably want to use the various `racket...font' functions).
Here's an example:
#lang scribble/manual
@(require (for-syntax racket)
scribble/racket)
@; `tree' as a syntactic form:
@(define-syntax tree
(make-element-id-transformer
(lambda (stx)
#'@racketkeywordfont{tree})))
@; `leaf' as a variable:
@(define-syntax leaf
(make-element-id-transformer
(lambda (stx)
#'@racketvarfont{leaf})))
@racketblock[
(+ x (tree leaf leaf leaf))
]
