BandM metatools API doc
BandM meta_tools for compiler construction and
efficient programming.
The BandM meta_tools toolkit employs advanced methods of meta-programming, source code synthesis, non-invasive pattern matching and much more. It is based on standard languages like Java, XML, XSLT. It offers in most areas strictly typed implementations.
For an introduction and details please refer also to the user documentation.

Description
A collection of general-purpose annotations and exceptions.
CLI tool to construct the initial skeleton of files and folders required
for a user project with metatools and gnu make.
D2d allows to write valid XML documents directly in the creative flow of authoring,
with minimum typographic noise.
This is a package of auxiliary classes for
the d2d version 2.0 implementation.

Postprocessors for sematic modification of d2d parsing results.
Umod main model class: This is a model for the
results of d2d text parsing.
Document type definitions in various formats, plus utilities.
Utilities for postscript and pdf processing.
