This is the source code for an earlier version of the Typography for Lawyers web-based book, which is an abbreviated version of the paperback.
The website is built with Pollen. I’m sharing this code as a Pollen sample project. Because when I’m trying to learn a new programming tool, I prefer to study real projects rather than synthetic examples.
To run this project, you need to first install Racket and Pollen.
Using Racket 6.0+, install from the command line:
raco pkg install pollen-tfl
And update like so:
raco pkg update --update-deps pollen-tfl
Scribble documentation is provided for the main pollen.rkt file. (Search for the pollen-tfl module in the Racket docs.)
Other source files contain comments.
You can also read the docs online, right now.
This repo contains fonts licensed under the OFL (= Source Serif 4, Fira Sans, Fira Mono, and Cooper Hewitt).
Everything else in this repository belongs to me and not you.
I give you permission to use this repo to learn about Pollen, including running and modifying the files.
I also give you permission to reuse or adapt any of the Racket & Pollen source code, or JavaScript / CSS / HTML, for your own Racket & Pollen projects.
I do NOT give you permission to reuse any of the content of this web-based book (including text, images, and PDFs). Why not? Because that’s the stuff I sell for money so that I can keep Pollen itself free. Let’s not mess with a good thing.
If you have questions not covered here, please post them in the Pollen forum: https://forums.matthewbutterick.com/c/pollen/
Complete. Maintained but no further updates planned.
