This project aimed to create a document specification format which has the same aims as LaTeX, but different implementation. Some design goals:
- Based on familiar tools (html, css).
- More geared towards modern media (web, interactive).
- Faster and simpler compilation than LaTeX.
- Less historical baggage; fewer quirks and hacks.
- Designed for extensibility, proper package manager included.
- Separation of content and style, but with easily editable style.
- Support simultaneous editing through easy merging.
- Explicit versioning over eternal compatibility.
Like LaTeX, it's not WYSIWYG, and it works well with SVC.
It is currently on hold or perhaps discontinued. I don't write many reports anymore, so I'm not very motivated anymore.
- Core - the core notex engine that compiles documents (just infrastructure; most functionality should be in packages).
- Package index - Package index where notex extensions are collected (own copies can be ran).
- Package manager - Client-side package manager for notex.
- Package template - Notex package base infrastructure (necessary for core and index).
- Pages - Notex addon to split document into paged format (the default is scrollable webpages).
- Various packages Some packages which will be split off when ready.
