- WML -- Website META Language
+ \ V V /| | | | |___ ``WML is the Unix toolkit for getting
+ \_/\_/ |_| |_|_____| your webdesigner's HTML job done.''
- WML is a free HTML generation toolkit consisting of 9 independent languages.
- The main idea of WML is a sequential filtering scheme where each language
- provides one of 9 processing passes. So WML reads an input file, applies
- passes 1-9 (or optionally only the passes specified) and finally produces
- one or more output files. It operates as a powerful offline HTML generation
- toolkit for webmasters. While not trivial and idiot proof it provides most
- of the features real hackers always wanted for HTML generation.

+ WML is a free and extensible Webdesigner's off-line HTML generation toolkit
+ for Unix, distributed under the GNU General Public License (GPL v2). It is
+ written in ANSI C and Perl 5, build via a GNU Autoconf based source tree
+ and runs out-of-the-box on all major Unix derivates. It can be used
+ free of charge both in educational and commercial environments.
+
+ WML consists of a control frontend driving up to nine backends in a
+ sequential pass-oriented filtering scheme. Each backend provides one
+ particular core language. For maximum power WML additionally ships with a
+ well-suited set of include files which provide higher-level features build
+ on top of the backends core languages. While not trivial and idiot proof WML
+ provides most of the core features real hackers always wanted for HTML
+ generation.
