Description

The SILE Typesetter

SILE is a typesetting system; its job is to produce beautiful printed documents. Conceptually, SILE is similar to TeX—from which it borrows some concepts and even syntax and algorithms—but the similarities end there. Rather than being a derivative of the TeX family SILE is a new typesetting and layout engine written from the ground up using modern technologies and borrowing some ideas from graphical systems such as InDesign.

Fonts

The recommended fonts hack-fonts and libertinus-fonts have now been added to the official Fedora repository.

I work towards including all the packages in this COPR repository into the official Fedora repository. All the dependencies are now added to the official repository. SILE is now the only missing package.
