@ -834,6 +834,8 @@ For numeric entities, you can also use a four-digit Unicode hex number by prefac
@repl-output{'(div 169 "\n" 169)}
Of course, you don't need to use @racket[string->symbol] and @racket[string->number] directly in your source. You can also define tag functions that generate entities. The key point is that to be treated as an entity, the return value must be a symbol or number, rather than a string.
@section{Further reading}
The Pollen language is a variant of Racket's own text-processing language, called Scribble. Thus, most things that can be done with Scribble syntax can also be done with Pollen syntax.
