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.

Requirements

............

You need at least:

  * GNU Guile >= 1.8.3 (2.0.x recommended)

    http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/

  * Guile-Reader >= 0.6

    http://www.nongnu.org/guile-reader/

  * ImageMagick, used to convert images from one format to another

    http://imagemagick.org/

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/

To produce pie charts, you may want to use:

  * Ploticus

    http://ploticus.sourceforge.net/

To convert images in the `fig' format:

  * Xfig, Transfig

    http://xfig.org/

To be able to use the `rss-2' reader, you will need:

  * Guile-Lib (specifically, `sxml' and `htmlprag' modules)

    http://www.nongnu.org/guile-lib/

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:

I am thankful to them for implementing Skribe!
