Thanks! It sounds like pollen is what I want then.

It's a question of control & flexibility. 

Scribble is more opinionated than Pollen:

1) it has its own document model 

https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/core.html?q=scribble%20document%20model#%28part._parts%29
 


2) and its own rendering system

https://docs.racket-lang.org/scribble/renderer.html?q=scribble%20document%20model
 



If you like those opinions, use Scribble.


Personally, I found Scribble capable but stubborn. Thus Pollen, which is a 
hybrid of what I like about Scribble (the text-based syntax) and what I like 
about Racket (total control).
