PerlPoint generates presentation slides, docs, brochures and more from an easy to learn but powerful text format. It allows distributed team documentation and can be extended to produce any target format you like.

Helmut Steinbach launched a German PerlPoint side at http://www.perlpoint.de/ . It provides documentation, a German quick start for the "perlpoint" generator, a bulletin board and a guest book.
=0.07 * nested lists: removed wrapping list point; =0.06 * added INDEXCLOUD support to PP::Generator::XHTML;
=0.04 * new method string2XMLObject() to pass plain XML strings on the stack (not intended for other strings);
* New basic tag \CX<INDEXCLOUD>. The tag collects index entries of a chapter range (and all included subchapters) or the whole document. The stream contains all the tag options. Generator based converters can rely on additional informations, which include a list of all index entries in the chapter range specified, and a quick ranking - a unified list of indexed phrases and their occurence number. * \CX<PP::Generator::SDF> shows an example implementation for \C<\\INDEXCLOUD> in generator based converters. As SDF cannot paint clouds, the tag is transformed into an ordered ranking list. * \C<\\INDEXCLOUD> implementations in traditional backend based converters are more expensive and depend on the converters internal index management and data structures, so they can vary. \C<pp2sdf> shall show one possible implementation in future versions. * New value for \CX<\\INCLUDE>'s \CX<type> option: \CX<parsedexample> works like \CX<example>, but embeds the file contents as a standard block (which is parsed), instead of as a verbatim block like \C<example>. Parsing an example file is especially handy when working with (highlighting) paragraph filters. =Fixes * \X<SDF> generator had not been adapted to several of the last stream format updates. * Code passed to \CX<_cnd_> was not accepted if it evaluated to "false" in Perl. Now the valid "0" is handled correctly.
