Description:
Mondriaan is a simple page layout language based on XML, just like FO from the 
Apache Project (See http://xml.apache.org/fop/) but with a different focus. 
This language aims not to describe a full document with formatted text or 
whatever fancy typesetting. calculation. Mondriaan is more dedicated to 
describe documents such as a front cover of a report or a CD booklet or any 
documents where objects have absolute position in the page. It offers a small 
and smart language to describe the page layout with geometric objects such as 
boxes with automatic alignment and dimensions. The Mondriaan parser is written 
in Ruby and offer a backend for PDF generation (using ClibPDF). The name of 
this project comes from the dutch painter Piet Mondriaan whom famous paintings 
are examples of documents which can be rendered with the Mondriaan layout 
language.

It does not exist yet but I\'m working on it.
