LinkLib: HTML: Preprocessors
I wrote my own preprocessor to build the JavaNotes pages, but I'm
not too happy with it. I should be heading toward XML and Docbook,
then generating the pages from that. Here are some other preprocessors
that some like, but I haven't tried them.
- xhml
- Description: From WDVL: "Personally, I use xh, so called
because it generates XHTML (as well as HTML 4). Xh allows you to
write web content with minimal markup ( example ). It abbreviates
commonly-used markup such as links, lists, paragraphs, etc, so
that the text is much less cluttered. It's very simple to use,
and effectively constitutes a new, simpler markup language -
XHML. The xh preprocessor converts XHML to XHTML (or HTML 4),
adding any 'boilerplate' such as navigation menus, banners,
footers, etc. It's a succesor to WDVL's ht."

- htmlpp 4.2a
- Description: From WDVL: "htmlpp is a sophisticated
pre-processor for HTML documents. It generates pages, headers,
footers, contents, cross-links,... Its purpose is to simplify the
work of writing and packaging large numbers of HTML documents. It
acts like a compiler: you provide an input source text and htmlpp
produces the HTML documents from that. This is easier and safer
than trying to edit and manage separate HTML documents. To use
htmlpp, you should be comfortable writing HTML without help from
a special HTML editor."
