sisu

Ralph Amissah — 2006-01-02T07:04:39+09:00

A command line driven (batch processing) document generator with: minimal (simple & mnemonic) markup requirements (which include the possibility of providing Dublin core or other semantic information about each document); multiple output options (file creation & database populating: including plaintext, html, xhtml, XML, ODF (OpenDocument), LaTeX, pdf, and populating of PostgreSQL relational database) all outputs sharing a common citation numbering system.

The database loading feature is not required but provides additional possibilities, for example for database searches the database is populated such that database match results are available at a text object (roughly paragraph level) either as an list of documents together with: linked object citation numbers for all text objects (paragraphs) matched; or displayed text for each text object (paragraph) matched.
