Latte (the Language for Transforming Text) is a new open source tool for
writing web pages.  It's a text markup language that is superior to HTML
in a number of ways: the syntax is simpler and more editor-friendly; you
don't need to balance opening and closing tags; you don't need to write
<p> tags; you don't need special codes to write characters such as <, >,
&, and "; and best of all, you can easily define powerful, reusable
functions to encapsulate repeated text, layout constructs, and style
information.

Latte makes it easy to experiment with numerous alternative designs of a
site, as the content can be stored and edited separately from the layout.

Latte also simplifies the management of multiple-author pages by allowing
separate files to be combined in various ways.  Definitions common to
several documents can be stored in a shared file in a way that goes far
beyond stylesheets.

Latte is freely available in source form from Zanshin, Inc.  Please see
the Latte home page at <http://www.zanshin.com/latte/> for downloads,
documentation, and examples.
