Package: Docupage
System name: docupage
This package wants to apply for inclusion in the GNU project

For free software projects, the processes of generating and converting 
documentation,
packaging releases, and creating announcements differ only in minor details. 
Yet each
project replicates this machinery; or worse lacks it. 

Version numbers and release dates occur in so many places, that it is rare for 
all of
them to be correctly updated in a large project release. Changes in operation of
document formating tools can require that Makefiles in every project directory 
be
modified. 

Docupage unifies and encapsulates these processes. Literate programs 
(incorporating
document source) and document source files are managed and combined to produce
plaintext, PostScript, HTML, Info, and PDF format outputs through one mechanism.
Project (WWW) home pages are automatically updated in synchrony with software
releases.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.
The HITCH, INFOBAR, and Schmooz components are available from
