CHPP 0.3.5

==========

CHPP is a powerful preprocessor originally designed for, but not

limited to, HTML.

We have used CHPP successfully in the creation of simple and complex

web-pages, web-databases, QuakeWorld (tm) configuration files and data

processing tasks usually done with tools like GAWK.

Features

--------

CHPP combines features of CPP, M4, Perl and Scheme. Still, we have

tried and succeeded in keeping the language pretty simple.

Among the features of CHPP are:

    - CHPP is non-intrusive, i.e. you can take already existing text and

      just pipe it through CHPP and it is likely it won't change.

    - User-defined macros, which can be recursive

    - Complex data structures (lists and hashes)

    - Powerful looping constructs

    - Regular expression matching

    - Support for CGI scripting

    - An interface to SQL-Servers (at the moment mSQL and MySQL).

Documentation

-------------

A reference manual for CHPP is included in the distribution.

Platforms

---------

Our main development platform for CHPP is gnu-linux-alpha. The

current version of CHPP has been tested on the following platforms: 

    gnu-linux-i386

    gnu-linux-powerpc

    gnu-linux-alpha

Previous versions of CHPP have also been tested on the following

platforms:

    digitalunix-alpha

    openstep-i386

    aix-rs6000

Licence and Availability

Mailing Lists

-------------

There are two CHPP mailing lists:

  chpp-announce@mondoshawan.unix.cslab.tuwien.ac.at

                      Announcements regarding CHPP.

  chpp-general@mondoshawan.unix.cslab.tuwien.ac.at

                      Discussions about using CHPP, bug reports,

                      development of CHPP etc.

Everything that gets posted to chpp-announce gets posted to

chpp-general too, so you only have to subscribe to one list.  To

subscribe to one of the lists, write a mail to either

  chpp-announce-request@mondoshawan.unix.cslab.tuwien.ac.at

  chpp-general-request@mondoshawan.unix.cslab.tuwien.ac.at

with the line

  subscribe

in the body.
