@title{Typesetting Racket Code}
@defmodule[slideshow/code]{The @racket[slideshow/code] library
provides utilities for typesetting Racket code as a pict.}
@defproc[(typeset-code [stx syntax?]) pict?]{
Produces a pict for code in the given @|stx-obj|. The
source-location information of the syntax object determines the line
breaks, line indenting, and space within a row. Empty rows are
ignored.
Beware that if you use @racket[read-syntax] on a file port, you may
have to turn on line counting via @racket[port-count-lines!] for the
code to typeset properly. Also beware that when a source file
containing a @racket[syntax] or @racket[quote-syntax] form is
compiled, source location information is omitted from the compiled
@|stx-obj|.
Normally, @racket[typeset-code] is used through the @racket[code]
syntactic form, which works properly with compilation, and that
escapes to pict-producing code via @racket[unsyntax]. See also
@racket[define-code].
Embedded picts within @racket[stx] are used directly. Row elements are
combined using and operator like @racket[htl-append], so use
@racket[code-align] (see below) as necessary to add an ascent to
ascentless picts. More precisely, creation of a line of code uses
@racket[pict-last] to determine the end point of the element most
recently added to a line; the main effect is that closing parentheses
are attached in the right place when a multi-line pict is embedded in
@racket[stx].
An identifier that starts with @litchar{_} is italicized in the pict,
and the @litchar{_} is dropped, unless the
@racket[code-italic-underscore-enabled] parameter is set to
@racket[#f]. Also, unless @racket[code-scripts-enabled] is set to
@racket[#f], @litchar{_} and @litchar{^} in the middle of a word
create superscripts and subscripts, respectively (like TeX); for
example @racketidfont{foo^4_ok} is displayed as the identifier
@racketidfont{foo} with a @racketidfont{4} superscript and an
@racketidfont{ok} subscript.
Further, uses of certain identifiers in @racket[stx] typeset
specially:
@itemize[
@item{@as-index{@racketidfont{code:blank}} --- produces a space.}
@item{@racket[(#,(as-index (racketidfont "code:comment")) _s ...)]
--- produces a comment block, with each @racket[_s] on its own line,
where each @racket[_s] must be a string or a pict.}
@item{@racket[(#,(as-index (racketidfont "code:line")) _datum ...)]
--- typesets the @racket[_datum] sequence, which is mostly useful for
the top-level sequence, since @racket[typeset-code] accepts only one
argument.}
@item{@racket[(#,(as-index (racketidfont "code:contract")) _datum
...)] --- like @racketidfont{code:line}, but every @racket[_datum]
is colored as a comment, and a @litchar{;} is prefixed to every line.}
@item{@racket[(#,(as-index (racketidfont "code:template")) _datum
...)] --- like @racketidfont{code:line}, but a @litchar{;} is
prefixed to every line.}
@item{@racketidfont{$} --- typesets as a vertical bar (for no
particularly good reason).}

@defform[(code datum ...)]{
The macro form of @racket[typeset-code]. Within a @racket[datum],
@racket[unsyntax] can be used to escape to an expression.
For more information, see @racket[typeset-code] and
@racket[define-code], since @racket[code] is defined as
@racketblock[
(define-code code typeset-code)
]}
@defparam[current-code-font style text-style/c]{
Parameter for a base font used to typeset text. The default is
@racket[`(bold . modern)]. For even more control, see
@racket[current-code-tt].}
@defparam[current-code-tt proc (string? . -> . pict?)]{
Parameter for a one-argument procedure to turn a
string into a pict, used to typeset text. The default is
@racketblock[
(lambda (s) (text s (current-code-font) (current-font-size)))
]
This procedure is not used to typeset subscripts or other items that
require font changes, where @racket[current-code-font] is used
directly.}
@defparam[current-code-line-sep amt real?]{
A parameter that determines the spacing between lines of typeset code.
The default is @racket[2].}
@defparam[current-comment-color color (or/c string? (is-a?/c color%))]{
A parameter for the color of comments.}
@defparam[current-keyword-color color (or/c string? (is-a?/c color%))]{
A parameter for the color of syntactic-form names. See
@racket[current-keyword-list].}
@defparam[current-id-color color (or/c string? (is-a?/c color%))]{
A parameter for the color of identifiers that are not syntactic form
names or constants.}
@defparam[current-literal-color color (or/c string? (is-a?/c color%))]{
A parameter for the color of literal values, such as strings and
numbers. See also @racket[current-literal-list]}
@defparam[current-const-color color (or/c string? (is-a?/c color%))]{
A parameter for the color of constant names. See
@racket[current-const-list].}
@defparam[current-base-color color (or/c string? (is-a?/c color%))]{
A parameter for the color of everything else.}
@defparam[current-reader-forms syms (listof symbol?)]{
Parameter for a list of symbols indicating which built-in reader forms
should be used. The default is @racket['(quote quasiquote unquote
unquote-splicing syntax quasisyntax unsyntax unsyntax-splicing)].
Remove a symbol to suppress the corresponding reader output.}
@defproc[(code-align [pict pict?]) pict?]{
Adjusts the ascent of @racket[pict] so that its bottom aligns with the
baseline for text; use this function when @racket[pict] has no
ascent.}
@defparam[current-keyword-list names (listof string?)]{
A list of strings to color as syntactic-form names. The default
includes most of the forms provided by @racket[racket/base].}
@defparam[current-const-list names (listof string?)]{
A list of strings to color as constant names. The default is
@racket[null].}
@defparam[current-literal-list names (listof string?)]{
A list of strings to color as literals, in addition to literals such
as strings. The default is @racket[null].}
@defthing[mzscheme-const-list (listof string?)]{
A list of strings that could be used to initialize the
@racket[current-const-list] parameter.}
@defboolparam[code-colorize-enabled on?]{
A parameter to enable or disable all code coloring. The default is
@racket[#t].}
@defboolparam[code-colorize-quote-enabled on?]{
A parameter to control whether under a @racket[quote] is colorized as
a literal (as in this documentation). The default is @racket[#t].}
@defboolparam[code-italic-underscore-enabled on?]{
A parameter to control whether @litchar{_}-prefixed identifiers are
italicized (dropping the @litchar{_}). The default is @racket[#t].}
@defboolparam[code-scripts-enabled on?]{
A parameter to control whether TeX-style subscripts and subscripts are
recognized in an identifier.}
@defform*[[(define-code code-id typeset-code-id)
(define-code code-id typeset-code-id escape-id)]]{
Defines @racket[code-id] as a macro that uses
@racket[typeset-code-id], which is a function with the same input as
@racket[typeset-code]. The @racket[escape-id] form defaults to
@racket[unsyntax].
The resulting @racket[code-id] syntactic form takes a sequence of
@racket[_datum]s:
@racketblock[
(code-id _datum ...)
]
It produces a pict that typesets the sequence. Source-location
information for the @racket[_datum] determines the layout of code in
the resulting pict. The @racket[code-id] is expanded in such a way
that source location is preserved during compilation (so
@racket[typeset-code-id] receives a syntax object with source
locations intact).
If a @racket[_datum] contains @racket[(escape-id _expr)]---perhaps as
@RACKET[#,_expr] when @racket[escape-id] is @racket[unsyntax]---then
the @racket[_expr] is evaluated and the result datum is spliced in
place of the @racket[escape-id] form in @racket[_datum]. If the result
is not a syntax object, it is given the source location of the
@racket[escape-id] form. A pict value intected this way as a
@racket[_datum] is rendered as itself.}
@defform[(define-exec-code (pict-id runnable-id string-id)
datum ...)]{
Binds @racket[pict-id] to the result of @racket[(code datum ...)],
except that if an identifier @racketidfont{_} appears anywhere in a
@racket[datum], then the identifier and the following expression are
not included for @racket[code].
Meanwhile, @racket[runnable-id] is bound to a @|stx-obj| that wraps
the @racket[datum]s in a @racket[begin]. In this case,
@racketidfont{_}s are removed from the @racket[datum]s, but not the
following expression. Thus, an @racketidfont{_} identifier is used to
comment out an expression from the pict, but have it present in the
@|stx-obj| for evaluation.
The @racket[string-id] is bound to a string representation of the code
that is in the pict. This string is useful for copying to the
clipboard with @racket[(send the-clipboard set-clipboard-string
string-id 0)].}
@defform[(define-exec-code/scale scale-expr (pict-id runnable-id string-id)
datum ...)]{
Like @racket[define-exec-code], but with a scale to use via
@racket[scale/improve-new-text] when generating the pict.}
