Functional document construction: Skribe
November 17th, 2004
I actually built something very similar to Skribe (a Scheme-based document construction languge) when I was a junior at Rice. Working with Shriram, I built Chisel, which could emit HTML or PostScript (by way of LATEX, naturally). It actually had a slightly friendlier syntax than Skribe (you didn’t have to know as much Scheme … or, more accurately, you didn’t have to knowingly know as much Scheme). I guess I should have released it, or something.
