Paul, FWIW, many of us use Scribble for papers and theses, which does a great job at typesetting Racket code. It's also (IMO) a much more pleasant document authoring language than TeX.
For example, my dissertation [1] is written using Scribble and a wrapper over the classicthesis style [2]. If you need to use a particular style, writing a similar wrapper is straighforward. In some cases, you may not even need a wrapper, and can just use `#lang scribble/base` and the ++style flag. I know that's what Burke Fetscher is doing, and it seems to be working well. Hope that helps!
