Hello,
I am pleased to announce version 0.9.1 of Skribilo, a schemey document
authoring system.

Documentation is available at:

Skribilo is a free document production tool that takes a structured
document representation as its input and renders that document in a
variety of output formats: HTML for on-line browsing, and Lout, LaTeX or
ConTeXt for high-quality hard copies.
The input document can use Skribilo's markup language to provide
information about the document's structure, which is similar to HTML or
LaTeX and does not require expertise. Alternatively, it can use a
simpler, ``markup-less'' format that borrows from Emacs' outline mode
and from other conventions used in emails, Usenet and text.
Skribilo can be thought of as a document programming framework for the
Scheme programming language that may be used to automate a variety of
document generation tasks. It uses GNU Guile 1.8 as the underlying
Scheme implementation.
Skribilo is a follow-up to Manuel Serrano's and Érick Gallesio's
Skribe [0] (thank you!). It is based on the code base of Skribe 1.2d
but differs in important ways.
Except from the `NEWS' file:
** Improved `configure' diagnostics and build/installation fixes
Thanks to Barrie Stott!
** Various documentation fixes, improvements and additions
Notably, examples no longer use the legacy Skribe API and the ConTeXt
engine is now documented.
** Emacs mode no longer depends on Bigloo UDE
** Guile warnings about duplicate bindings are now hidden
These harmless warnings looked like:
WARNING: (skribilo ast): imported module (srfi srfi-34) overrides core binding `raise'
** The `slide' package supports additional customs
Namely, `slide-outline-title' and
`slide-outline-{active,inactive}-color'. See manual for details.
** The `:toc' option of `slide' determines whether to include it in the outline
** New option `:rulecolor' for `table'
** New `--sui-path' command-line option, new `*sui-path*' parameter
** Fix SUI `:ident' references
** Use more SRFI-34/35 exception handling instead of `skribe-error'
** Lesser reliance on recursive make
Thanks,
Ludovic.
