4 Text block: maths and formulas🔗ℹ

 (require text-block/math) package: text-block

The functions exported by text-block/math are prefixed with $ to avoid name collisions with Racket’s arithmetic functions. The default prefix can be changed on require with filtered-in, for example:

Examples:
> (require racket/require
           (for-syntax racket/base racket/string)
           (filtered-in (lambda (name)
                          (and (char=? #\$ (string-ref name 0))
                               (string-replace name "$" "¶")))
                        text-block/math))
> (¶+ 'a 'b)

(tblock #:width 5 #:height 1 #:baseline 0 '("a + b"))

Compose tblocks horizontally for arithmetic operations.

The functions $sqr, $cube and $expt may add parenthesis around their first argument to avoid ambiguity.
