[racket] converting GRacket editor file to HTML or PDF?

I'm working on some little conveniences like that, and already have some code that I'm using for writing student assignments to PDFs:
 http://jjohnson.kirby.org/tmp/handin-pdfs.rkt

I call that code from a checker that generates a report on which of the assigned functions/constants are defined and so on; it writes the report to a text%, which gets inserted at the top of the text% that contains the student's submission. Then I give most of my feedback by marking up the PDFs on my tablet. Overall, this has been about as pleasant a workflow as I've found for grading programs.

Best,
Jordan
