Subject: skribe1.0a

This announces the first official release of Skribe. Skribe1.0a
is available at:

        http://www.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Skribe


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 à la HTML. So, there is no need to be
provided with computer programming skills in order 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. It extends Scheme
in three directions:

  1. An extensive library for representing and handling texts.
  2. A additional syntactic construction that enables compact source files.
  3. An evaluation model that suits text processing.

 From Skribe source files it is possible to produce various targets:

  . HTML pages that can be used to implement a web site.
  . LaTeX files that can be used to produce high quality Postscript or
    PDF files.
  . Slides.

Several Skribe examples are available:

  . The Skribe home page (http://www.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Skribe) and Bigloo
    home page (http://www.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Bigloo) illustrate
    the Skribe skills for web page production.
  . The Skribe home 
(http://www.inria.fr/mimosa/fp/Skribe/doc/user/user.html)
    page illustrates the Skribe skills for technical documentations..

The Skribe distribution contains various other examples.
