InfoPrism Description

InfoPrism is a general document processing system that translates SGML source files to different output formats. InfoPrism is a general document processing system that translates SGML source files to different output formats like Texinfo, LaTeX, HTML and plain text.A fundamental principle of InfoPrism is the ability to cope with any reasonable DTD. This is realized with ruleset scripts . The InfoPrism package includes ruleset scripts for the default document type Manual. Support for the Docbook DTD is under development.In addition to plain old SGML documents InfoPrism handles so-called SGML scripts as well. These are Tcl scripts using additional commands for document creation. The commands are:· counterparts of HTML elements (e.g. ul, pre).· shortcuts for multiple SGML elements (e.g. liwul).· simulate SGML facilities (e.g. include).Instead of< !DOCTYPE manual PUBLIC "-//Witware//DTD InfoPrism//EN" >< TITLE >Vanilla SGML vs SGML Scripts< /TITLE >< AUTHOR EMAIL="racke@linuxia.de" >Stefan Hornburg< /AUTHOR >Many documentation writers are not that familiar with SGML documents.Using SGML scripts may be more natural for them.
