PlainDoc

PlainDoc is a document production system based on plain text files. It keeps most of the document in human readable form; the PlainDoc source itself serves as the plain text version of the document. It handles EPS, gnuplot, dia diagrams, tables, and verbatim text, uses LaTeX for PDF production, and can produce monolithic or paginated HTML and DocBook natively. Includes are supported. The file format is CVS friendly and easily diffable. It is suitable for software manuals and documentation, technical publishing, scientific papers, books, legal documents, and presentation slides.
