Hi Folks,

dokkit 0.4.4 has been released!

1 Changes from version 0.4.3

fixed a bug that prevented to use custom dokkit models; to get
more information about custom models please refer to
http://dokkit.rubyforge.org/models/models.html[1]
dokkit gem no longer depends on haml; if you want to use haml you
have to install it
an error message is displayed when an output format is associated
to a formatter that doesn’t support it

dokkit is a document generator written in ruby that is suitable for
static websites generation too.

dokkit uses formatters like deplate[2] and maruku[3] to generate
documents in a large variety of output formats.

dokkit’s features are:

a smart building system based on rake[4]
a templating system based on ERB[5]
a flexible configuration system based on YAML[6] 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
the 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

With dokkit you can:

generate static websites
generate many types of documents in many formats (html, tex, plain
text, etc.)
write your documents using a simple wiki syntax and get high
quality latex output
generate different output formats from the same source document
use models to quickly generate the documents you want (static
websites, reports, howtos, guides, presentations, etc.)
simply derive new documentation models from the existing ones
simply modify existing models to fit your needs

dokkit aims to be modular and extensible: you can add new formatters and
helpers and easily extend document functionalities.

See dokkit website[7] for further information, documentation and
tutorials.

Please, visit the google group[8] and feel free to send feedback and
suggestions!
