Summary: Simple Document Format document development system

Description:
SDF (Simple Document Format) is a freely available document development
system which generates high quality outputs in a variety of formats
from a single source. The output formats supported include
PostScript(tm), PDF, HTML, plain text, POD, man pages, LaTeX,
MIF, SGML, Windows(tm) help, RTF, MIMS F6 help and MIMS HTX help.
If the idea of specifying documents in a logical manner via a
simple markup language sounds appealing, SDF may be useful to you.

SDF documents are simple to create and maintain, minimising the time
spent on documentation. In particular, SDF directly supports the
creation and maintenance of large, on-line documentation systems
(including intranets) via centralised hypertext management and
rule-based hypertext generation. As well as normal documents,
SDF is useful for:

* user manuals (paper-based and online)
* online document catalogs
* Perl module documentation
* Delphi(tm) component documentation
* source code listings (pretty printing most languages).

SDF is also good for literate programming, i.e. documentation can
be embedded in the comments of most programming languages and can be
selectively extracted. The embedded documentation can be in any
markup language you like, although there are advantages to using
SDF's markup language.

SDF is freely available for commercial and non-commercial use.
