Hi,

I've created a package 'ellipsis-msg' and uploaded it to [Racket Package Index](https://pkgd.racket-lang.org/pkgn/).  
It has the same setup as 'columns-pane', but somehow the documentation is generated for 'columns-pane', but not for 'ellipsis-msg'.

Still, if I install 'ellipsis-msg' from using the package manager on windows, there's documentation in my local help desk.

Is there something I'm missing?

Also the documentation for 'columns-pane' does not get updated anymore...

When I attempt to install, I get an error.

That’s new…I’ll fix it tomorrow.

Followup-question. I added a video in the scribble documentation:

```scheme
@(require
   scribble/example
   scribble/core
   scribble/html-properties
   (for-label racket/gui)
  @(for-label ellipsis-msg))

@(define(add-video video)
   (make-element
    (make-style #f
                (list
                 (make-alt-tag "video")
                 (make-attributes (list (cons 'controls "")
                                        (cons 'width "400")
                                        (cons 'src video)))
                 )
                )
    null))

(...)

@add-video{../../resources/example.mp4}

@add-video{https://github.com/hdijkema/ellipsis-msg/raw/refs/heads/main/resources/example.mp4}

```

Of which the second one probably works, but I'd rather work with a local (package) dependency.  
The one I added (../../resources/example.mp4) seems to work on Windows, but not so via the racket packages index.

Any ideas?

I believe you can build this with [`install-resource`](https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/core.html#%28def._%28%28lib._scribble%2Fhtml-properties..rkt%29._install-resource%29%29), or maybe some other HTML style property.

Thanks, I'll look into it.

Or possibly `define-runtime-path`?
