Hi Matthias,
I cannot seem to get it to work. I can get scribble to be happy, but
not the scribble/lp file.
First try: (somewhere in the middle of the file)
@(begin
#reader scribble/comment-reader
(chunk <hs-from-xs>
(define hs ; (xi+1) - xi
(map - (rest xs) (drop-right xs 1)))))
Second try:
@chunk[<hs-from-xs>
#reader scribble/comment-reader
(define hs ; (xi+1) - xi
(map - (rest xs) (drop-right xs 1)))]
Both can be scribbled with the comment when included with (lp-include
...), but doesn't run when one runs the file itself. When the file is
run, this error appears: "bad syntax (multiple expressions after
identifier) in: (define hs (code:comment ..." The only place I can
find code:comment defined is in
"...Racket/collects/scribble/lp/lang/lang.rkt":
(provide code:comment)
(define-syntax (code:comment stx)
(if (eq? (syntax-local-context) 'expression)
(syntax (void))
(syntax (define (f x) x))))
It looks like it was supposed to strip the comment when being run.
"...Racket/collects/scribble/comment-reader.rkt" does have
(define (do-comment port recur)
(let loop ()
(when (equal? #\; (peek-char port))
(read-char port)
(loop)))
(when (equal? #\space (peek-char port))
(read-char port))
`(code:comment
(unsyntax ...
So it seems like this is where code:comment is coming from, but for
some reason the code:comments rule from lang.rkt isn't seeing it.
