Manuel Serrano can no longer maintain and develop Skribe. Skribe
is thus looking for a new maintainer. If you feel interested, please
contact Manuel Serrano that is willing to help anyone that will accept
this charge.
Skribe is a text processor. Even if it is a general purpose
tool, it best suits the writing of technical documents such as web pages or
technical reports, API documentations, etc. At first glance, Skribe
looks like a mark-up language ŕ la HTML. So, there is
no need to have developed computer programming skills to
use Skribe.
A second look reveals that Skribe is actually a true programming
language, provided with high level features (such as objects,
higher order functions, regular and syntactic parsing, etc.). Skribe is based
on the Scheme
programming language.
From Skribe source files it is possible to produce various targets:
- HTML pages that can be used to implement a web site (such as
the Skribe Home Page).
- XML files.
- LaTeX files that can be used to produce high quality
Postscript or PDF files.
Skribe is the successor of Scribe
(whose development has been abandoned in favor of Skribe). Skribe is
distributed under the
Gnu General Public License.
