Description
racketblock throws away the original format of numbers in code, replacing them with their equivalent decimal representation.
For instance, this example produces a document with 255 instead of #xff:
#lang scribble/base
@(require scribble/manual)
@racketblock[#xff]

Research direction
Start by tracing how racketblock converts numeric literals while processing the supplied Scribble example. Check how the original number format is represented and rendered. Done means the example preserves #xff rather than producing 255, with the behavior verified in generated documentation.
