Description : Document annotation, editing, and production system
Zope BackTalk is a document editing, commenting, and publication system
for book-like content. It has the following features:
* Content is authorable via Structured Text. Structured Text is plaintext
that is provided with structure via the use of indentation and simple
inline symbology. For instance, to embolden a phrase, you surround the
phrase with **double asterisks**, to make something show in a "literal"
sort of font (e.g. code), you surround it with 'single quotes', etc.
* Content is organized inside a container named a "Book" while the logical
chapters of the book are created in "Documents". You may change the
ordering of the documents in a book and of course insert new documents
into a book structure, etc. Most of this management is done via the
Zope Management interface.
* Documents are individually editable via FTP and WebDAV.
* The web view of a Book will automatically provide a hyperlinked table
of contents and simple "back-forward-up-next" navigation between
documents in a Book.
* A Document is a collection of paragrahs (as decided by structured text).
* Each paragraph in each Document supports the addition of comments through
a web interface as well as through direct text entry in the Structured
Text source.
* A Book supports a printable rendering to PDF with or without the inclusion
of comments.
