## Quad 
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A work-in-progress document processor written in [Racket](http://racket-lang.org).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Create PDFs from a simple text-based source format. Use any TTF or OTF or WOFF fonts you like.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quad lets you avoid:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* word processors
|
|
|
|
|
|
* page-layout programs
|
|
|
|
|
|
* web browsers
|
|
|
|
|
|
* LaTeX and derivatives
|
|
|
|
|
|
* subscriptions, surveillance, and “creative clouds”
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Quad, by contrast —
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* is downloadable & self-contained
|
|
|
|
|
|
* is open source
|
|
|
|
|
|
* makes document layout fast & easy
|
|
|
|
|
|
* uses source files that are portable between Mac OS, Windows, and Linux
|
|
|
|
|
|
* works with [Pollen](//pollenpub.com)

## Project status
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
Actively developed, though progress tends to go in bursts due to other commitments. Even when I’m not committing code to Quad, I am thinking about it.
