Writeup logo Writeup Version 1.99 Release Notes

This release: 1.99.16 (2012-07-19) is the second release candidate for Writeup 2.0

It is feature complete and there are no known bugs. It is currently available for Linux, Windows and Mac.

Summary

Writeup is a command line tool for generating content. It takes a plain text file and processes it into HTML, XML and/or CSS. It has three components:

  1. A markup language, similar to Markdown or textile.
  2. A pre-processing language with variables, functions, conditional compilation and includes.
  3. HTML/XML/CSS generation fuctionality for classes, styles and other attributes.

Philosophy

  • As simple as possible for the end-user to create complex documents. They need know nothing about Writeup
  • The end-user writes semantically and does not have to worry about markup
  • Write once, use everwhere. A single source document can be used for web-pages, slide presentations, printed copy etc.
  • All the complexities of markup are abstracted into functions contained in include files
  • These functions are hidden from the user and are created by Writeup “experts” who have mapped the simple syntax given to end-users into the desired markup for whatever use will be made of the document

Documentation

Detailed documentation is in the process of being written and the latest version may be read at writeup.org/quickref
