<h3><a name="./stex:h0"></a>1. Overview</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <i>stex</i> package consists of two main programs and some supporting
|
|
items, such as make files, make-file templates, class files, and style
|
|
files.
|
|
The two main programs are <b>scheme-prep</b> and <b>html-prep</b>.
|
|
<b>scheme-prep</b> performs a conversion from "stex"-formatted files
|
|
into latex-formatted files, while <b>html-prep</b> converts (some)
|
|
latex-formatted files into html-formatted files.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
An stex file is really just a latex file extended with a handful of
|
|
commands for including Scheme code (or pretty much any other kind of code,
|
|
as long as you don't plan to use the Scheme-specific transcript support)
|
|
in a document, plus a couple of additional features rather arbitrarily
|
|
thrown in.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The subset of latex-formatted files <b>html-prep</b> is capable of
|
|
handling is rather small but has nevertheless been useful for our
|
|
purposes, which include producing html versions of a couple of books
|
|
(<i>The Scheme Programming Language</i>, Editions 2-4 and the Chez Scheme
|
|
User's Guides for Versions 6-9), the scheme.com web site, class websites,
|
|
class assignments, and various other documents.

<h3><a name="./stex:h1"></a>2. Installation</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
A prerequisite to building and using stex is to have Chez Scheme or
|
|
Petite Chez Scheme installed on your system.
|
|
You'll also need pdflatex, dvips, ghostscript, and netbpm.
|
|
We've run stex under Linux and OS X but have not tried to run it under
|
|
Windows.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The simplest way to install stex for your personal use is to clone the
|
|
stex directory into your home directory, cd into the stex directory,
|
|
and run make:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>make BIN=<i>bindir</i></tt>
|
|
<p>where <tt><i>bindir</i></tt> is the directory where make will find the scheme or
|
|
petite executables.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
This will create a subdirectory, named for the installed Chez Scheme
|
|
machine type, containing binary versions of the programs.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can also use "make install" to make stex available for other users.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>sudo make install BIN=<i>bindir</i> LIB=<i>libdir</i></tt>
|
|
<p>where <tt><i>bindir</i></tt> is as described above, and <tt><i>libdir</i></tt> is the
|
|
directory where the stex library directory should be installed.

<h3><a name="./stex:h2"></a>3. Usage notes</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The simplest way to get started with stex is to get this document to
|
|
build (in the doc directory) and create your own document by cloning
|
|
this document's source file (stex.stex) and make file (Makefile).
|
|
If you've installed stex in your home directory, you should be able to
|
|
build this document by running "make" without arguments in the doc
|
|
directory.
|
|
If you've installed stex elsewhere, you'll first have to modify the
|
|
include for Mf-stex to reflect its installed location.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Makefile is where you declare your stex sources and various other things,
|
|
like bibtex and graphics files.
|
|
If you don't have anything much more complicated than this document,
|
|
you might just need to change the line that declares the main stex entry
|
|
point, i.e., the line that reads <tt>x = stex</tt>, to reflect the name
|
|
of your document.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The make is orchestrated by Mf-stex, which knows how to run
|
|
<b>scheme-prep</b>, <b>html-prep</b>, <b>pdflatex</b> (multiple
|
|
times), and various other commands to produce both pdf and html versions
|
|
of the stex document.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
You can also consult the more elaborate stex source and make files for the
|
|
Chez Scheme User's Guide in the csug directory of a Chez Scheme release.

<h4><a name="./stex:h4"></a>4.1. Inline code</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
An stex document includes inline Scheme (or other) code via the
|
|
<tt>\scheme</tt> command, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
When called with two arguments, \scheme{cons} creates a pair of the two
|
|
arguments, e.g., \scheme{(cons 3 4)} produces \scheme{(3 . 4)}.
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
produces:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
When called with two arguments, <tt>cons</tt> creates a pair of the two
|
|
arguments, e.g., <tt>(cons 3 4)</tt> produces <tt>(3 . 4)</tt>.
|
|

<h4><a name="./stex:h5"></a>4.2. Code displays</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
An stex document includes out-of-line Scheme (or other) code via
|
|
<tt>\schemedisplay</tt> and <tt>\endschemedisplay</tt>, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
\schemedisplay
|
|
(define fact
|
|
(lambda (x)
|
|
"a light year is a measure of distance"))
|
|
|
|
(define fib
|
|
(lambda (x)
|
|
"a light year is a measure of time"))
|
|
\endschemedisplay
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
produces:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>(define fact<br>
|
|
|
|
(lambda (x)<br>
|
|
|
|

|
|
<br>
|
|
<br>
|
|
(define fib<br>
|
|
|
|
(lambda (x)<br>
|
|
|
|
"a light year is a measure of time"))</tt>
|
|
<p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Within a Scheme display, <tt>;=></tt> is converted into a double right arrow
|
|
(<img src="math/stex/0.gif" alt="<graphic>">), <tt>;-></tt> into a single right arrow (<img src="math/stex/1.gif" alt="<graphic>">), and
|
|
<tt>;==</tt> into a phantom of the same size.
|
|
This is useful for showing what a piece of code translates or evaluates to,
|
|
e.g.:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
A \scheme{let} expression expands into a call to a \scheme{lambda}
|
|
expression, e.g.:
|
|
\schemedisplay
|
|
(let ([a 17]) ;-> ((lambda (a) (+ a a))
|
|
(+ a a)) ;== 17)
|
|
\endschemedisplay
|
|
|
|
A \scheme{let} expression first evaluates the right-hand-side
|
|
expression, then evaluates the body in an environment that binds
|
|
the left-hand-side variable to the resulting value, e.g.:
|
|
\schemedisplay
|
|
(let ([a 17]) ;=> 17
|
|
(+ a a))
|
|
\endschemedisplay
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|

|
|
expression, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>(let ([a 17]) <img src="math/stex/1.gif" alt="<graphic>"> ((lambda (a) (+ a a))<br>

<h4><a name="./stex:h6"></a>4.3. Variables</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Code can include emphasized variables via the <tt>\var</tt> command, e.g.:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
\scheme{(let ([\var{x} \var{e}]) \var{body})} binds the variable \var{x} to
|
|
the value of \var{e} in \var{body}.
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
produces:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<tt>(let ([<i>x</i> <i>e</i>]) <i>body</i>)</tt> binds the variable <tt><i>x</i></tt> to
|
|
the value of <tt><i>e</i></tt> in <tt><i>body</i></tt>.
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
If the text within a <tt>\var</tt> form contains an underscore, the
|
|
following character or bracketed subform is converted into a subscript,
|
|
e.g., <tt>\var{abc_3}</tt>
|
|
produces <tt><i>abc<sub>3</sub></i></tt>, and <tt>\var{7e5_16}</tt>
|
|
produces <tt><i>7e5<sub>16</sub></i></tt>.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<tt>\var</tt> forms may appear within a <tt>\scheme</tt> form, within a Scheme display
|
|
formed by <tt>\schemedisplay</tt> and <tt>\endschemedisplay</tt> commands,
|
|
or by itself outside of either.

|
|

<p>

Raw text can be included in code via the <tt>\raw</tt> command.
|

When special features, like <tt>\var</tt> forms, need to be

<h4><a name="./stex:h11"></a>5.1. Automatic transcript generation</h4>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <b>scheme-prep</b> package supports a
|
|
<tt>\transcript</tt> command for automatically generating Scheme transcripts
|
|
from input supplied in the document source.
|
|
All text from the <tt>\transcript</tt> marker up to and including the
|
|
<tt>\endtranscript</tt> marker is replaced with a transcript generated
|
|
by supplying the intervening text as the input to a Scheme café (REPL).
|
|
If the Scheme transcript needs to contain the sequence
|
|
<tt>\endtranscript</tt>, a different terminator may be specified as an
|
|
optional argument to <tt>\transcript</tt>.
|
|
The terminator must be a backslash followed by one or more alphabetic
|
|
characters, and is specified without the backslash in the optional argument.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Three pairs of commands may be redefined to customize the typesetting
|
|
of different elements within generated transcripts.
|
|
To modify the typesetting of error messages, redefine <tt>\transerr</tt>
|
|
and <tt>\endtranserr</tt>.
|
|
To modify the typesetting of user input read from the current input port
|
|
of the café, redefine <tt>\transin</tt> and <tt>\endtransin</tt>.
|
|
To modify the typesetting of program output written to the current
|
|
output port of new café, redefine <tt>\transout</tt> and
|
|
<tt>\endtransout</tt>.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, the following:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|

Transcripts do not include a trailing prompt by design.
|
|
This is done in such a way that an explicitly displayed string that
|
|
happens to look like the prompt is not suppressed.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
\transcript
|
|
(begin (display "> \n") (exit))
|
|
\endtranscript
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
should leave the apparent prompt alone since it is generated as program
|
|
output.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>> (begin (display "> \n") (exit))<br>
|
|
|
|
<font color="#0000ff">> <br>
|
|
|
|
</font></tt>
|
|
<p></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Prompt suppression works even with
|
|
changes to <tt>waiter-prompt-string</tt>.
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
\transcript
|
|
(waiter-prompt-string "antelope? ")
|
|
"no thanks"
|
|
\endtranscript
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
</blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
produces no trailing "antelope? " prompt:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
|
|
<p><tt>> (waiter-prompt-string "antelope? ")<br>
|
|
|
|
antelope? "no thanks"<br>
|
|
|
|
"no thanks"</tt>

|
|
<p>
|
|
The <tt>stex</tt> commands <tt>\schemeinit</tt> and <tt>\endschemeinit</tt>
|
|
are used to bracket Scheme expressions that should be evaluated without
|
|
generating a transcript of the results.
|
|
This is useful, for example, when writing the description of a programming
|
|
assignment. The solutions can be loaded via <tt>\schemeinit</tt> and a
|
|
transcript showing how the solutions behave can be generated using the
|
|
<tt>\transcript</tt> command.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For example, the following text:
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
\schemeinit
|
|
(waiter-prompt-string ">") ; restore the original prompt setting so we
|
|
; don't get "antelope?" as the prompt
|
|
(define compute-length
|
|
(lambda (x)
|
|
(cond
|
|
[(list? x) (length x)]
|
|
[(vector? x) (vector-length x)]
|
|
[(string? x) (string-length x)]
|
|
[else (errorf 'compute-length "cannot handle ~s" ls)])))
|
|
\endschemeinit
|
|
\emph{The \scheme{compute-length} procedure behaves as follows:}
|

Support for tables comes with a few caveats:

|
|
<p>
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<a name="g14"></a><li><tt>@{}</tt> directives within <tt>tabular</tt>

|
|
<a name="g15"></a><li><tt>|</tt> directives within <tt>tabular</tt>
|
|
column specifiers are essentially ignored. Their only effect is
|
|
to globally enable borders for the entire HTML table.
|
|
<a name="g16"></a><li><tt>\hrule</tt> and <tt>\cline</tt> are not yet implemented.
|
|
<a name="g17"></a><li>no warranty is expressed or implied.
