[racket] Scribble and/or Latex?
I'm a bit pressed for time, so I'll have to postpone learning Scribble for a later date. In the meantime, thanks for the reply!

But as a former HtDP'er, I've been looking for an excuse to get back into Racket, and I thought learning Scribble might be a good route to take. I've poked through the docs a bit, and can't find any reference on math typesetting. Can that be done in Scribble? Or is Scribble not the right tool, and should I commit my learning efforts to Latex? Or both?
