Vivliostyle
Typesetting system leveraging web technologies
Vivliostyle is an open-source typesetting system that uses web technologies to create print and digital publications. It extends the layout capabilities of modern web browsers to support advanced CSS features for paged media, such as page floats, footnotes, and cross-references. The project includes Vivliostyle.js, the core library that runs on all modern browsers and enables advanced page layout, and Vivliostyle CLI, a command-line tool for generating PDFs and EPUBs from HTML or Markdown files with specified themes and stylesheets. Lastly there is Vivliostyle Pub, a web application that simplifies the creation and editing of publications, with content and style editors and real-time preview. The goal is to empower people to create beautiful publications without relying on proprietary software and leverage the power of web standards and ecosystems.
