Oh, if you're going to do the simple syntax colorer, you can also do it
in JavaScript, in the browser. There are existing JS scripts for doing
this for various languages. I would prefer the result of using Scribble.

If you want to see the code in a Web browser window (not even use
DrRacket as a helper program launched from the browser for a Racket
MIME type), then I like Robby's suggestion of how to use Scribble.
You might have to see whether the parts of Scribble you need are fast
enough to format on-the-fly for a responsive Web interface, or whether
you need to precompute that.
If all else fails, writing a simple syntax colorer from scratch is a
small task, so long as you don't need symbol/ident information other
than a small fixed set of what are "the keywords". You could make
this task an extra-credit homework problem for students. :)
