## Pollen: the book is a program [](https://github.com/mbutterick/pollen/actions)
A book-publishing system written in [Racket](http://racket-lang.org). This is the software I use to publish & maintain my web-based books [Beautiful Racket](http://beautifulracket.com), [Practical Typography](http://practicaltypography.com), and [Typography for Lawyers](http://typographyforlawyers.com).
If you think documents should be programmable, you’ll love it.
If not, you can move along.
Pollen gives you access to a full programming language (Racket) with a text-based syntax that makes it easy to embed code within your documents.

## Project status
Actively developed, though the pace has slowed now that Pollen is arguably feature complete and stable. I use it almost every day so it's not going anywhere. But I have no plans to substantially enlarge or extend it.
