Greg Hendershott a96ca8280d Regen HTML.
Note: css and js file changes due to using Scribble from Racket 6.0,
which has a new/improved set of CSS styles.

<a href="http://blog.racket-lang.org/2011/04/writing-syntax-case-macros.html">Writing
&#8216;syntax-case&#8217; Macros</a>, helped me understand many key details and
concepts, and inspired me to use a "bottom-up" approach.</p><p>Eli wrote another blog post,

relied heavily on that, mostly just updating it since his post was
written before PLT Scheme was renamed to Racket.</p><p>Matthew Flatt&rsquo;s

to keep going. Sam Tobin-Hochstadt and Robby Findler also encouraged
me. Matthew Flatt showed me how to make a Scribble

than as <span class="RktVal">"#'"</span>. Jay McCarthy helped me catch some mistakes and
confusions. Jon Rafkind provided suggestions. Kieron Hardy reported a
font issue and some typos.</p><p>Finally, I noticed something strange. After writing much of this, when
I returned to some parts of the Racket documentation, I noticed it had
improved since I last read it. Of course, it was the same; I&rsquo;d
changed. It&rsquo;s interesting how much of what we already know is
projected between the lines. My point is, the Racket documentation is
very good. The <span style="font-style: italic">Guide</span> provides helpful examples and
tutorials. The <span style="font-style: italic">Reference</span> is very clear and precise.</p><div class="navsetbottom"><span class="navleft">&nbsp;&nbsp;</span><span class="navright">&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="Robust_macros__syntax-parse.html" title="backward to &quot;7 Robust macros: syntax-parse&quot;" data-pltdoc="x">&larr; prev</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="index.html" title="up to &quot;Fear of Macros&quot;" data-pltdoc="x">up</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="Epilogue.html" title="forward to &quot;9 Epilogue&quot;" data-pltdoc="x">next &rarr;</a></span>&nbsp;</div></div></div><div id="contextindicator">&nbsp;</div></body></html>
