This is the source code for the Typography for Lawyers web-based book, which is an abbreviated version of the paperback.

The website is built with Pollen. I’m sharing this code as a Pollen sample project. Because when I’m trying to learn a new programming tool, I prefer to study real projects rather than synthetic examples.

To run this project, you need to first install Racket and Pollen.

Optional installation

Using Racket 6.0+, install from the command line:

raco pkg install pollen-tfl

And update like so:

raco pkg update --update-deps pollen-tfl

Installation is optional because you can also clone the repo in the usual ways and run it with Pollen.

But this repo is not open source

Everything in this repository belongs to me and not you.

I give you permission to use this repo to learn about Pollen, including running and modifying the files.

I also give you permission to reuse or adapt any of the Racket & Pollen source code, or JavaScript / CSS / HTML, for your own Racket & Pollen projects.

I do NOT give you permission to reuse any of the content of this web-based book (including text, images, and PDFs), nor the fonts that are embedded in the CSS. Why not? Because that’s the stuff I sell for money so that I can keep Pollen itself under the LGPL. Let’s not mess with a good thing.

If you have questions not covered here, please post them on the Pollen mailing list: http://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pollenpub
