Thank you guys! I brought the modfile.rkt out to the directory where I am writing the scrbl files and imported it as shown in one of the other scriblings (reader-extractor I think), worked like a charm! Cheers! (I know I'm probably doing something stupid by bringing files out from /usr/plt/... but what works works!) <div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Sep 29, 2010 at 7:10 PM, Matthias Felleisen <<a href="mailto:matthias@ccs.neu.edu">matthias@ccs.neu.edu</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div><div></div><div class="h5"> On Sep 29, 2010, at 7:24 AM, Matthew Flatt wrote: > At Wed, 29 Sep 2010 14:40:17 +0530, Ishaan Singh wrote: >> I'm new here, but went through the documentation and couldn't find an answer >> to this so was wondering: >> If I want to write a scribble file and somehow 'include' a text file by just >> referencing the name of that text file, is it possible? >> I want to do this to set up an example and add scheme codes '.ss' but want >> to make it such that if i make changes to the scheme code in the .ss files, >> and then re-execute scribble --html, the updated code should be embedded in >> the generated html file. > > See "collects/scribblings/guide/modfile.rkt". > > The "modfile.rkt" module defines a `racketmodfile' form that is like > `racketmod', but `racketmodfile' takes the content to typeset from a > file. > > Something like that is probably what you want.
