Thanks, Ben. The weird thing is that (require slideshow) doesn't cause problems when I run that file in Racket, or when I the docs with scribble. It's only a problem when I use raco setup.
My assumption is that raco setup is supposed to build my docs in the same way I could have done myself (e.g. by running scribble). Is that the wrong mental model on my part? It always surprises me when my code seems to be working fine until I do a raco setup. This doesn't happen often, but when it does, it makes me feel like it must be a Racket bug. I guess I'd like to know if I'm looking at things the right way in that regard. More specifically... is this slideshow thing a Racket bug or my own? If it's my own bug, how should I adjust my mental model? I've always assumed that any correct Racket code can be run during setup's documentation-building time. If this isn't true, how can I know which Racket code can be used in this way and which can't?
