Features

This is what tbook can do so far:

• An XML DTD that is suitable for demanding, especially scientific, texts, but it is also as simple and small as possible, and uses similar names as LaTeX. Supported text classes: book, article, and letter.
• It produces HTML, XHTML+MathML, Postscript, PDF, and DocBook output.
• It works with formulae, graphics, tables, (all three with numbering) bibliography, and index. Tools that have proven their efficiency with LaTeX (BibTeX, xindy etc.) are also usable with tbook.
• The print output caters high typographic demands, using high level LaTeX typesetting mechanisms. This includes neat graphics and their labelling with Psfrag. Additionally, it produces small PDFs.
• It is easily configurable. For LaTeX via a user package file, for HTML via a CSS fragment, and there are yet other ways.
• As much as possible is done automatically, e.g. via shell scripts that are synchronised with the document continually.
• It works with different languages and allows for direct unicode input. Supported languages so far: English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Catalan, Danish, Dutch, Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Brazilian, Finnish, and Russian.
• It is possible to input XML code directly without being killed by tons of characters. (That counts twice for formulae.)
• It's a real life tool, no academic project. If it doesn't work properly for you, complain!
