I am having a bad time with Scribble and racketblock

I can follow the code sample for codeblock @codeblock\|{ #lang scribble/manual @codeblock{ #lang scribble/manual @title{Hello} } }\|

But if I change that to racketblock Scribble outputs all my code as literal text

@racketblock\|{ #lang racket/base (require web-server/servlet-env web-server/http web-server/dispatchers/dispatch) (serve/servlet (lambda (_) (next-dispatcher)) #:servlet-path "/" #:extra-files-paths (list (build-path "./static")) #:port 8080 #:launch-browser? #t) }\|

renders as

You should use @racketblock[ ... ], not @racketblock\|{ ... }\|

index.scrbl:36:0: read-syntax: unexpected `]`

:confused:

I’m using #lang scribble/manual in case that matters

do I need some special indentation or something?

It sounds like you have unbalanced parens or curlys or braces.

#lang scribble/manual @racketblock[ #lang racket/base ]

this is a minimum and it still doesn’t work :confused:

bar.scrbl:5:0: read-syntax: unexpected `]` context...: read-undotted read-syntax

(I snipped the rest)

I don’t think racketblock is meant to have #lang within it. racketmod might be closer to what you’re looking for if you want #lang there

that did it

that was non-obvious! :smile:

Thanks @samth & @badkins. Very helpful! :slightly_smiling_face:

Definitely sounds like places are the way to go for my purposes, then.

If you’re interested in a little more context of the end-goal, essentially I’m wanting to do something a bit like https://github.com/jcoo092/stereo-matching-practice/blob/master/fsharp/BeliefPropagation.fs using an approach similar to https://github.com/jcoo092/ivcnz2018/blob/master/CML/Program.fs (it would be fair to say that using that approach for the latter was unsuccesful - it was at least 20x slower than a simple naive implementation of the same thing. I expected it to be slower in this instance, but not that much slower - plus the program was much more bloated)
