(require scribble-tools)

This library provides Scribble forms for typesetting CSS, HTML, JavaScript, shell scripts (Bash/Zsh/PowerShell), WebAssembly (WAT), and Scribble snippets with syntax coloring

Announcement at https://racket.discourse.group/t/scribble-tools/4141

Thanks Jens 👏

-- scribble-tools --

Hi all, The ghost and I have put together a little package for typesetting CSS, HTML, JavaScript, and Scribble snippets in Scribble. The idea was to have syntax highlighting that matched the current look of Racket snippets. For the CSS I added inline visualizations of colors, gradients and fonts. For CSS property names are linked to their documentation page on MDN. For HTML element names are linked their MDN documentation pages. For JavaScript common classes and keywords are linked.
