Hi, As my special gift to you for the holiday season, I am releasing my tool for generating documentation from Mathematica calculations for free use under the GPL v 2.0 license. You can find samples of its output, which I have improved considerably in the last month, here: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/mmade/web/samples (also gives input) The tool is called MMADE. I haven't decided how it's pronounced [1] or for what, exactly, it stands [2]. Here is a link to its project page, which has a download link and install instructions. http://code.google.com/p/mmade If you have any questions about it, post them to the MathGroup mailing list or the new MMADE mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/mmade [1] I can't decide if it should be an initialism or an acronym. I am hung up between the following two choices: "m m a d e", which fits with: "When life gives you lemons, make MMADE" or "made", as in "When life gave you lemons, you MMADE lemonade." [2] Again, I am hung up between two choices: MMA could stand for the old Mathematica abbreviation. DE could stand for Docbook Exporter (with capitalization that follows the abbreviation). or It could be a recursive abbreviation in the tradition of other open source projects, such as GNU (GNU's Not Unix). In this case, it would be MMADE is a MAthematica Docbook Exporter (with capitalization that follows the abbreviation). Cheers, -- http://chris.chiasson.name/
