[racket] [scribble] rendering of fractions

I'm trying your first suggestion, and it brings me to an issue I've faced some other time as well. How can I customized an imported parameter for an interaction session?

More precisely here, how can I specify that I want a specific pretty-print-print-hook for the whole evaluator?

If I wrap the expression in the @interaction, it does not work:

@interaction[
(parameterize ([pretty-print-print-hook
                (let ([oh (pretty-print-print-hook)])
                  (λ (value display? port)
                    (cond .... ;; big blob from the file you pointed out
  4/3)
]

Thanks,

-- Éric
