I've been using Pollen daily for several years (and will continue to do so, because my main work is writing). I've made Pollen available because a) I'm certain that others have had the same frustrations that I have, and b) feature suggestions and bug reports make it more useful for everyone.
I hope you enjoy using it. If you get stuck on something not covered here, see @secref["Getting_more_help" #:doc '(lib "pollen/scribblings/pollen.scrbl")].
I hope you enjoy using it.
@section{Getting more help}
@subsection{Bugs and feature requests}
Can be submitted as @link["https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen/issues"]{GitHub issues} at the main Pollen source repository.
@subsection{Questions & discussion}
For general tips and how-to questions, use the @link["https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen-users/issues"]{pollen-users discussion group} (on GitHub). I'll also use that list to post major changes and new features.
You need a GitHub account to post. If you don't have one, don't panic —they're free and easy to set up with an email address. @link["https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen-users"]{Instructions here}.
(BTW, the former ``pollenpub'' Google Group is now deprecated.)
@subsection{Can I see the source for @italic{Practical Typography} or @italic{Typography for Lawyers}?}
Yes, a tutorial project based on the previous version of @link["http://typographyforlawyers.com/"]{@italic{Typography for Lawyers}} is available by installing the @link["https://docs.racket-lang.org/pollen-tfl/"]{pollen-tfl} package the same way you installed Pollen.
The current versions of @italic{Practical Typography} & @italic{Typography for Lawyers} are generated from a single set of Pollen source files, which is a complication that makes them less suitable for an introductory tutorial. Still, even though this tutorial project is based on an earlier version, the coding techniques are very close to what I still use. Learn with confidence.

@section{Can I see the source for Practical Typography or Typography for Lawyers?}
Yes, the source for @link["http://typographyforlawyers.com/"]{Typography for Lawyers} is available. In terms of content, TFL was originally the basis of Practical Typography. But in terms of code, this new TFL website is essentially a clone of Practical Typography, but rewritten to be clearer and more instructive, with extensive source comments.
