[racket-users] syntax-parse attributes in macro-generated macros

2017-09-16 Thread Philip McGrath
Hi everyone, I'm writing a macro-generating macro where the generated macro uses `syntax-parse`, and I can't figure out how to work with attributes using the dot syntax where the base identifier is generated by the outer macro. For example, consider the following macro: (define-syntax example-ma

I've been hacking on a way to make *simpler* slideshow presentations, which I'll actually present briefly at Racketcon next month. The idea is to take something plaintext and turn it into slides, so you don't have to be a pict master. I am trying to work in how to include slides that are Picts,

You might take a look on AirBnB. I'm staying at a place that's much closer than the main hotel, and also about 1/6 the price. On Sat, Sep 16, 2017 at 11:58 AM, Leif Andersen wrote: > Okay thanks. > > For future reference, that is actually a very long distance for many > people in wheelchairs. >

In that case, it probably makes sense for you to use scribble to replace the LaTeX part of your workflow from the past. Specifically, if you've got a pict, you can just drop it into anywhere you would have put text in a scribble document and the right thing will happen. So hopefully this'll improve

Hello, when I used LaTeX/beamer I used beamer solely for the slides and produced a seperate handout with LaTeX. I switched to slideshow/pict recently but it takes a lot of time for me to prepare the presentation due to my missing skills in using pict. Best wishes, Daniel Am 16.09.2017 um 16:08

When you watch the presentations of people who present with latex/beamer, you notice that most just excerpt the paper. This reduces the amount of time needed to prepare the presentation and the quality of the presentation at the same time. A paper/handout and a presentation are two completely dif

Hello! Racket language is deeply rooted in academia and used wildly in education, so, I hope, it's reasonable that Racketeers are often preparing slide-show presentations... In order to take an advantage of Racket's ecosystem I'd like to use it for such purpose and slide-show package is natural c
