Pollen delegates the nitty-gritty of generating layout to other tools. So the
workflow is
1) find a tool that will make the layout you want
2) write a program that commands the tool to make this layout
3) generate this program with Pollen.
Today — hopefully not forever — the best option for making programmatic print /
PDF layouts is LaTeX.
(Of course, on the web the tool is the web browser, and the "program" is HTML.)
