Description

Zoem is an interpretive macro/programming language. It can be used as an allround macro language, but has more specialized uses as well. One such specific use is its support for creating small mark-up languages that map to different devices (creating manual pages and FAQs for HTML, troff, and Postscript). Zoem has character filtering capabilities tailored to this application. It can also be used for general practical document creation, allowing semantic mark-up, abstraction from repeated (mark-up) elements, centralized control, automatic generation of TOC sections, and more of that cruft.
