Unfortunately, it complains that style s unbound.

hendrik@notlookedfor:~/write/Melinda/Melinda$ make spedia
scribble --html --dest generated pedia/spedia.scrbl
pedia/spedia.scrbl:7:17: style: unbound identifier in module
  in: style
Makefile:95: recipe for target 'spedia' failed
make: *** [spedia] Error 1
hendrik@notlookedfor:~/write/Melinda/Melinda$ 

spedia.scrbl is the source code I'm using:


```
#lang scribble/base
(require scribble/core)

Example of color:

@(define (colorize #:color c . content)
  (elem #:style (style #f (color-property c)
        content)))
	
@colorize[#:color "red"]{WARNING}
```

Any idea where I should get style from?  make-style also fails.
