The Borges project is an open-source software designed for XML-based documentation projects. It provides tools and features that enable the creation and management of XML content with ease.
With Borges Documents Management System, users can easily write modular documentation in XML DocBook format, which can be compiled into multiple formats, including HTML and PDF. One of the software's significant advantages is its ability to manage different versions of a single manual by defining derived versions based on conditional parts.
The system tracks the state of each module according to six predefined states, ranging from "writing" to "final language proofreading." Once a task gets completed, the module switches to the next state automatically. Borges assigns each module to a set of contributors responsible for each state, which include authors, translators, and proofreaders.
Each contributor can easily check his attributions using web pages and receive emails with his current to-do list. The software also allows tracking the work in progress from the entire project to the most basic components, including paragraphs and their translations.
Borges Documents Management System's latest release now solves the module images compilation issue, and its usage requires xmllint. The software's advanced features and user-friendly design make it a perfect choice for XML DocBook documentation projects.
