With Skribe one can: - - - Produce HTML web pages. - - Produce PS files. - - ... +Skribilo is a document authoring system allowing users to produce +documents in a variety of formats (HTML, PostScript, PDF, XML, etc.) +from a single source document, while still retaining fine-grain control +over the output. -One may also: +Beside rudimentary features provided by the `base' package, Skribilo +provides packages for the production of colored program source code, +bibliographies, pie charts, mathematical equations, and more. - - Translate Texinfo files into HTML. +Skribilo is based on the Scheme programming language and is highly +extensible: it is easy to define new documentation primitives (called +"markups") and their rendering in each output format. - - re-use BibTex bibliography databases. +Skribilo's core is written in mostly-portable Scheme (i.e., uses +standard APIs such as SRFIs rather than Guile-specific APIs whenever +that is possible), making it intelligible and hackable for most Scheme +programmers. +For more information, see: -Obtaining Skribe -**************** + http://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/ -New versions of Skribe may downloaded from: - ftp://ftp-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Skribe +Requirements +............ +You need at least: -Skribe distrubtion -****************** + * GNU Guile >= 1.8.x + http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ -The Skribe distribution consists of several directories: + * Guile-Reader >= 0.3 + http://www.nongnu.org/guile-reader/ - INSTALL installation instructions. + * Guile-Lib (any version) + http://home.gna.org/guile-lib/ - Makefile the Makefile to compile Skribe. +Optionally, you may want to install one of the following document layout +programs to produce PS/PDF files: - README this document. + * Lout + http://lout.sourceforge.net/ - README.java specific information regarding the JVM port of Skribe. + * LaTeX + http://www.latex-project.org/ - etc private directory. + * ConTeXt + http://www.pragma-ade.nl/ - bin the directory where binary files are compiled to. +Optionally, to produce pie charts, you may want to use: - lib the directory where Skribe libraries are compiled to. + * Ploticus + http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/ - configure configuration driver script. - - emacs Skribe emacs mode. +This is it! - examples Various example of Skribe texts. - doc the Skribe sources for Skribe manuals. +History +....... - src the Scheme source code for Skribe. +Skribilo is based on the Skribe code base, written by Manuel Serrano and +Erick Gallesio.

My first -though goes to Frederic Boussinot who's the first pre-alpha-tester of -Skribe always volunteering for new testing new features ;-) I then -thanks all the people that send me fixes, suggestions and -improvements, that is, all the people that appear in the ChangeLog -file. Many thanks to all of you. +;;; Local Variables: +;;; mode: text +;;; coding: utf-8 +;;; End: |
