Booky

Booky is a real alternative to latex when it comes to document creation. It uses an enhanced version of textile to create the content and converts it to a PDF using pure-ruby with the help of the rubygem prawn.

It features:

  • Chapters and Sections
  • Inclusion of Images
  • Footnotes
  • Import of Spreadsheets
  • Requiring of other Files
  • Automatic Table of Content
  • Lists
  • Customized Layouting
  • Inclusion of Highlighted Source Code

Demos:

Install

gem install booky

Usage

Create a plain textile file, e.g. sample.textile and run:
