The Universaltext

Experimental text-oriented software

At this section I present current and future experimental projects related to Universaltext as an implementation of my concept of text. It exists already the first software based on it, the Universaltext Interpreter. I am beginning to design its successor Universaltext Engine and thinking about further developments of it and about a text editor that could be based on it, the Text Workbench.

UText/1

The Universaltext Interpreter is already stable and in productive use for generating my websites and books. It implements an interpreter for Universaltext, it reads source Open Office and plain text files with a special notation and then the parsed text structure can be navigated and queried by a script in order to generate output in different formats (i. e. html, LaTeX). It consists of some Perl modules, not quite 6,000 lines of code.

UText/2

The Universaltext Engine, the successor project, will be a text-engine implemented in C.

UText/N

Here I am collecting ideas about possible future developments of the Universaltext.

Text Workbench

The Text Workbench will be a text editor for personal use based on UText/N.
