    http://dokkit.rubyforge.org

  document dir

== DESCRIPTION

With dokkit you can:

* generate static websites

* generate many types of documents in many formats

* write your documents using a simple wiki syntax and obtain high
  quality output (with pdflatex)

* generate different output formats from the same source document 

* use models to quickly generate the documents you want (technical
  report, howto, guides, presentation, website, etc.)

* simply derive new documentation models from the existing ones

* simply modify existing models to fit your needs

== FEATURES/PROBLEMS

* a smart building system based on rake

* a templating system based on ERB

* a flexible configuration system based on YAML that supports shared
  configuration files and ‘in header’ configuration

* an extensible formatting system that uses deplate and maruku as built-in filters
  
* convention over configuration: for example, you don’t need to give a
  layout name to use if a layout with the same name of the processed
  document is found in doc/layouts folder

* support for nested layouts

* support for partials
    
* support for caching
