[racket] [help] : Syntax coloration

Are you  sure you need to implement a new-canvas%? I think you only
have to do that if you need some king of custom editing capabilities.

(I don't have a good example now. Perhaps an editor that understand
the indentation rules of the old Fortran fixed-form format, where the
first 6 characters have special meaning. When you hit enter, you must
jump to the correct position, that is different from the standard
position.)

Usually you only need to create a new #lang:
http://docs.racket-lang.org/guide/hash-languages.html and then you can
customize the standard editor to adapt the syntax highlighting.
