SILE is a typesetting system; its job is to produce beautiful printed documents. Conceptually, SILE is similar to TeX—from which it borrows some concepts and even syntax and algorithms—but the similarities end there. Rather than being a derivative of the TeX family SILE is a new typesetting and layout engine written from the ground up using modern technologies and borrowing some ideas from graphical systems such as InDesign.
Features
- Produce complex document layouts using frames
- Easily extend the typesetting system in a high-level programming language (Lua)
- Directly process XML to PDF without the use of XSL stylesheets
- Documentation available
- Typeset text on a grid
- For Windows, macOS, and Linux
