@section{The lozenge glyph (◊)}
I chose the lozenge as the command marker because a) it appears in almost every font, b) it's barely used in ordinary typesetting, c) it's not used in any programming language that I know of, and d) its shape and color allow it to stand out easily in code without being distracting.

Still, if you don't want to use the lozenge as your command marker, you can use something else. Set Pollen's @racket[world:command-marker] value to whatever character you want.

@margin-note{Scribble uses the @"@" sign as a delimiter. It's not a bad choice if you only work with Racket files. But as you use Pollen to work on other kinds of text-based files that commonly contain @"@" signs — HTML pages especially — it gets cumbersome. So I changed it.}
These values can be changed by overriding them in your @racket["directory-require.rkt"] source file. Within this file, @seclink["submodules" #:doc '(lib "scribblings/guide/guide.scrbl")]{create a submodule} called @racket[config]. Then within this submodule, use @racket[define] to make a variable with the same name as the one in @racket[pollen/world], but without the @racket[world:] prefix. Assign it whatever value you like. Repeat as needed. When Pollen runs, these definitions will supersede those in @racket[pollen/world].
