I did not think about this, but a few weeks ago I placed a link to 
TeXmacs in the Wikipedia page on Guile 
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Guile).

Said this, I think it is still good to use Racket's documentation to 
learn about Scheme which you then apply to Guile. The differences are 
few enough that many of the examples work, and after a short while you 
will be able to guess in advance (for enough cases at least!) syntax 
that is valid in Racket only: they are the functions which perform 
complex actions. The "rule" for guessing helps to figure out what is 
happening when a program copied from Racket's documentation does not 
work: if there is a "complex" function, one can check if that function 
exists in Guile.
