sile

We have hosted the application sile in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about sile:

SILE is a typesetting system; its job is to produce beautiful printed documents. Conceptually, SILE is similar to TeX�from which it borrows some concepts and even syntax and algorithms�but the similarities end there. Rather than being a derivative of the TeX family SILE is a new typesetting and layout engine written from the ground up using modern technologies and borrowing some ideas from graphical systems such as InDesign.

Features:

• Produce complex document layouts using frames
• Easily extend the typesetting system in a high-level programming language (Lua)
• Directly process XML to PDF without the use of XSL stylesheets
• Documentation available
• Typeset text on a grid
• For Windows, macOS, and Linux

Programming Language: Lua.
