[racket] Fwd: Scribble continuous previsualisation?

Actually my script was wrong, here is an improved (and good enough for my
purposes) version.
The usage would be "scribble-pvc ["pdf|html|latex..."] Foo.scrbl

#!/bin/bash

PATTERN="${PWD}/$2"

SCRIBBLE='echo "${watch_src_path} ${watch_event_type}"; scribble'
FMT=" --$1"

if [ "$1" == "html" ]
then
    XREFS=' ++xref-in setup/xref load-collections-xref --redirect-main "
http://docs.racket-lang.org/html"'
else
    XREFS=' ++xref-in setup/xref load-collections-xref'
fi

TARGET=' "${watch_src_path}"'

COM=$SCRIBBLE$FMT$XREFS$TARGET

watchmedo shell-command \
  -c "$COM" \
  -D -p $PATTERN
