This document is a sort of [quine](https://everything2.com/?node=quine). If you select the whole page in your browser and paste it into a file, this text shows up encoded in a weird [Markdown](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown) variant embedded in a string literal inside a [Racket lisp](https://racket-lang.org/) script. Evaluating the file with `racket -f $FILE` evaluates the lisp, converting the weird Markdown and producing the same HTML document that your browser received.


This has the practical advantage of making it impossible to misplace the 'source file', since there is none.
