PlainDoc is a document production system based on
plain text files. It keeps most of the document in
human readable form; the PlainDoc source itself
serves as the plain text version of the document.
It handles EPS, gnuplot, dia diagrams, tables, and
verbatim text, uses LaTeX for PDF production, and
can produce monolithic or paginated HTML and
DocBook natively. Includes are supported. The file
format is CVS friendly and easily diffable. It is
suitable for software manuals and documentation,
technical publishing, scientific papers, books,
legal documents, and presentation slides.
