I am in the process of wrapping up HtDP/2e for MITP.
As a result I have to do a lot of refactoring on the
source (remove color, replace images, change size, etc).

The book consists of ~45Kloc .scrbl and ~10Kloc .rkt.

Until now I was extremely reluctant to edit scrbl code
in drracket. But when you have to refactor a lot of
embedded code, you really want to navigate large source
files by lexical scope (c:x-n and friends to the rescue),
find source bindings easily, open source files, add
prefixes to import the same name from 2htpd/image and pict
(the best way to replace one with the other), and so on.
And drracket is up this task while my poor .scrbl mode
in Emacs isn’t. [Anybody has something for these tasks?]

So thanks to Robby and Dan for providing these features.

I submitted some issues on github and via private email.
But that just means these things really exist and you
do too.

I still can’t edit a lot of English/srbl text in Dr but
that’s okay.

Nah.
I have bug reports, that’s why.”
