Thank you for the advice, Matthew. Pollen looks quite relevant to my needs
(that's a great name by the way—evocative!). I will spend time reading through
its docs and source code. So far, Section 6.2 "Optional reading: the case
against Markdown" practically read my mind. I also ran across your book
Beautiful Racket which looks equally relevant for me. I'm sure both of these
resources will be very useful as I try to build something that works for me, so
thank you.
