Skribilo ======== 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. 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. 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. 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: http://www.nongnu.org/skribilo/ Requirements ............ You need at least: * GNU Guile >= 1.8.3 http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/ * Guile-Reader >= 0.3 http://www.nongnu.org/guile-reader/ Optionally, you may want to install one of the following document layout programs to produce PS/PDF files: * Lout http://lout.sourceforge.net/ * LaTeX http://www.latex-project.org/ * ConTeXt http://www.pragma-ade.nl/ Optionally, to produce pie charts, you may want to use: * Ploticus http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/ This is it! Development ........... A copy of the source code repository can be obtained with Git (http://git.or.cz/), using the following incantation: git-clone git://git.sv.gnu.org/skribilo.git You can then send patches to the mailing list! History ....... Skribilo is based on the Skribe code base, written by Manuel Serrano and Erick Gallesio. See `README.Skribe' for the original Skribe `README' file, or visit: http://www-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Skribe/ I am thankful to them for implementing Skribe! June 2007, Ludovic Courtès .
