Recall that in Pollen, all @secref["tags-are-functions"]. By default, the @racket[_tagged-xexpr] from a source file is tagged with @racket[root]. So the typical way to use @racket[decode] is to attach your decoding functions to it, and then define @racket[root] to invoke your @racket[decode] function. Then it will be automatically applied to every @racket[doc] during compile.

For instance, here's how @racket[decode] is attached to @racket[root] in @link["http://practicaltypography.com"]{@italic{Butterick's Practical Typography}}. There's not much to it —

This illustrates another important point: even though @racket[decode] presents an imposing list of arguments, you're unlikely to use all of them at once. These represent possibilities, not requirements. For instance, let's see what happens when @racket[decode] is invoked without any of its optional arguments.
