"Skribe is a programming language designed for implementing electronic documents. It is mainly designed for the writing of technical documents such as the documentation of computer programs. With Scribe these documents can be rendered using various tools and technologies. For instance, a Scribe document can be compiled to an HTML file that suits Web browser, it can be compiled to a TeX file in order to produce a high-quality printed document, and so on."

Skribe is a functional programming language for text formatting, implemented in the Scheme dialect of Lisp. It is available for *nix systems as C++ source code, and in Java for any platform with a Sun 1.3 or greater Java Virtual Machine.

It's not clear whether the Skribe language implemented in Skribe bears any resemblance to Brian Reid's Scribe. (Doesn't seem to. --DMcCunney 07/12/12)
