(chapter :title "Introduction" :ident "intro" :number #f :toc #t :file #f

   (p [Skribilo is a document production toolkit and a programming
language designed for implementing electronic documents,(footnote [To be
more precise, the programming language itself is that of ,(ref :text
[Skribe] :url "http://www-sop.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Skribe/"), the project
Skribilo is based on.]).  It is mainly designed for the writing of
technical documents such as the documentation of computer programs.
With Skribilo these documents can be rendered using various tools and
technologies.  For instance, a Skribilo document can be ,(emph
"compiled") to an HTML file that suits Web browser, it can be compiled
to a TeX file in order to produce a high-quality printed document, and
so on.])
   
   (section :title "Who May Use Skribilo?" :number #f
      
      (p [Anyone needing to design web pages, PostScript/PDF files or
Info documents can use Skribilo.  In particular, there is ,(emph "no
need") for programming skills in order to use Skribilo.  Skribilo can be
used as any text description languages such as ,(ref :text [LaTeX] :url
"http://latex-project.org/"), ,(ref :text [Lout] :url
"http://lout.sf.net/") or HTML.]))

   (section :title "Why Use Skribilo?" :number #f
      
      (p [There are three main reasons for using Skribilo:]
      
      (itemize
	 (item [
It is easier to type in Skribilo texts than other text description formats.
The need for ,(emph "meta keyword"), that is, words used to describe
the structure of the text and not the text itself, is very limited.])
	 (item [
Skribilo is highly skilled for computing texts. It is very common that
one needs to automatically produce parts of the text. This can
be very simple such as, for instance, the need to include inside a text,
the date of the last update or the number of the last revision.
Sometimes it may be more complex. For instance, one may be willing to
embed inside a text the result of a complex arithmetic computation. Or
even, you may want to include some statistics about that
text, such as, the number of words, paragraphs, sections, and so on.
Skribilo makes these sort of text manipulation easy whereas other
systems rely on the use of text preprocessors.])
	 (item [
The same source file can be compiled to various output formats such
as HTML, PostScript, Info pages, etc.])))))
