RAA - deplate/0.7.2

deplate is a ruby based tool for converting documents written in wiki-like markup to LaTeX, HTML, “HTML slides”, or docbook. It supports page templates, embedded LaTeX code, footnotes, citations, bibliographies, automatic generation of an index, table of contents etc. It can be used to create web pages and (via LaTeX or Docbook) high-quality printouts from the same source. In this respect it is similar to tools like aft or txt2tags. This is the accompanying converter for the Vim viki plugin.

deplate can read:

* deplate markup (viki vim plugin) in several variants: full, restricted, template
* ruby rdoc

deplate can write:

* HTML: single page, web site (chunked), web-based presentation (chunked & condensed)
* LaTeX
* Docbook


0.7.2
Ability to read Ruby's rdoc format and arestricted version of the orginal viki/deplate markup, a really plain textformatter, slightly revamped multipage HTML output, and a first try onsaving metadata in auxiliary files (currently in ad-hoc yaml format only).

0.7 make it easier to use deplate as a library; improved LaTeX output; many other changes

0.6 the standard markup for emphasis and code has changed (a module is provided for re-enabling the old markup); you can define simple regions/macros/commands inline without writing any ruby code

0.5 First attempt at DocBook output; simple template mechanism
