Not sure which part isn't clear.
First, syntax objects are data, but with extra information, such as binding information, source location, etc.
Second, the #' form (written out it's called `syntax`) is similar to the ' form (written out as `quote`). But the first one includes the extra information to make a syntax object. Also, it has an extra character, which the chapter points out can be seen as going along with the extra information.

I've used it for two small (unpublished) books. https://www.gitbook.com/ https://www.gitbook.com/ E: I may have misparsed your question, upon re-reading it and had an overly liberal understanding of "solicit feedback". Apologies in advance if my answer isn't quite up the alley you were looking for.
- omaranto 11y agoThe book Real World Haskell was written using such a system. I don't know what system they used, though. It let you attach comments to a specific paragraph.
