erlPress_core

erlPress_core modifies and extends the Hugh Watkins fork of Erlang Erlguten originally developed by Joe Armstrong.

erlPress_core is the base library for many as-yet-to_be-developed Erlang applications for creative print media publishing tools.

To review current erlPpress_core functionality, display ep_show_n_tell.pdf in pdf/galleys/ep_show_n_tell.pdf (also it will be rebuilt if you compile and run src/tests/ep_show_n_tell.pdf from rebar3 shell).

See Programmer Guide for API details.

erlPress_core, is a work-in-progress. Should you find deficiencies or rough-edges, please let us know. The MIT license encourages evolution toward world-class print-media applications ranging from business cards to books.

Imagine:

• Easy-to-use documentation tools
• An application for development of marketing collateral along the lines Scribus, but web-based
• An Erlang-based book-publishing pipeline

See features: ep_show_n_tell.pdf in pdf directory (source).

erlPress_core so far offers three type styles. But you can create your own. In the src/typespec directory, see:

• ep_report_sty.erl
• ep_report_hv_sty.erl
• ep_cdoc_sty.erl
