Need a scribble identity wrapper. A no-op.

[Hendrik Boom]

I've tried defining a function that reads a file, and then tries to
pass it back to be part of a scribble document.

Unfortunately, the list returned needs to be processed somehow before I
can return it.

Just returning the raw text results in complaints. Apparently a list
of items needs to bave some kind of prefix or wrapper is if it to be
accepted.

I can get it to work by applying italic to it:

(define (include-here s)
(let* ((in (open-input-file s))
(text (read-inside in))
)
(apply italic text)
)
)

This works just fine, except that I do not want italics.
I really want not to specify a style at all.
Is there some kind of wrapper that lets me do that?

I guess I need something like an identity wrapper.

I think ‘elem’ will do what you want.

Indeed. Thank you. That works.

But I haven't been able to find where 'elem' is documented.
