That sounds right to me, except I'm not sure about the "write out"
part. I image your document source should be
#lang planet neil/toscribble/doc
"sourcefile"
where the reader specified by `neil/toscribble/doc' reads the named
file and produces a syntax object for a module that is a Scribble
document.
I should have mentioned that my need is for API documentation embedded
in a normal "#lang racket/base" file. So, although it's the source file
for the documentation, I can't simply hand that file directly to
Scribble. I need to translate the file first, and then either call
Scribble directly with syntax objects or (sounds like) write out a file
that Scribble then processes.
If I write out a file, but I want Scribble error messages to point to
locations in the original "#lang racket/base" source file, then I think
I'll need the written-out file to have the "#lang planet
neil/toscribble/doc" line that will do a reader trick to make syntax
objects with locations that refer to the original "#lang racket/base" file.
