## 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)
## Install
Using Racket 6.10+, install from the command line:
raco pkg install quad
And update like so:
raco pkg update --update-deps quad
