I'm still curious to get scribble/lp working, but I've figured out an immediate solution to my question. I was able to get the behavior I want with just a simple macro: @(define-syntax-rule (code l) (begin @schemeblock[l] l)) Below is a sample of its use to get the behavior I want where you can hit run and have your code execute, or hit the scribble-html button to have it scribbled. If others like this idea as much as I, maybe this macro would be something worth including in scribble/manual? One thing I still haven't figured out is how to get a comment (introduced with a semicolon) that is in the code block to show up in the scribbled output. (In the example below, the comment ";; the zero test" doesn't show up in the scribble output). ------- Example ----- #lang scribble/manual @(define-syntax-rule (code l) (begin @schemeblock[l] l)) @title{This is the title of my document} Welcome to my test of the scribble system. Above, I gave the document a title. Here is some introductory text. @section{Factorial} I'm going to define the factorial function. @code[ (define (factorial n) (cond [(zero? n) 1] ;; The zero test [else (* n (factorial (sub1 n)))])) ] @section{Conclusion} To turn this file into pretty HTML, just push the Scribble HTML button in the upper-right corner.
