Writeup Version 2.50 Release Notes

This release is Writeup 2.50

It is a stable version suitable for production. 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
