[racket] [Frog] Code examples in handwritten HTML

Thanks for the fix!

I meant to say index.md in my earlier message, that was a thinko.

I'm building the static site for Pyret, which will have a blog down
the line, but I want to make a nice index page for it as well, and
it'd be cool to have it all in one place.  The fact that Frog gives me
Rackety templates inside a Bootstrap environment for free made me want
to try it out.  I'll keep you posted on how it goes and if Frog was
the right tool for us.
