Some computer programs I have written. Since I actually use them, I guess they count as structured procrastination.
a general markup converter, written in Haskell. Converts from markdown, HTML, LaTeX, or reStructuredText to markdown, HTML, LaTeX, ConTeXt, reStructuredText, DocBook XML, RTF, groff man pages, or S5 slide shows. I use this for all of my lecture notes, letters, and websites.
a wiki program in Haskell, using HAppS for server and session management, git for file storage and history, and pandoc and highlighting-kate for markup and page rendering. (gitit’s git repository, gitit live demo)
a program that generates static websites (including this one!) from string templates and data in YAML or CSV files.
a markdown to HTML and LaTeX converter written in lua, using a PEG grammar.
a source code syntax highlighting library in Haskell. Parsers for different languages are automatically generated from Kate xml syntax definitions.
a generic interface to versioned storage for text or binary data, with backends for git and darcs.
a Haskell library for converting LaTeX formulas to MathML. There’s an online demo here.
tools for keeping a library of books and articles on Amazon’s S3 and SimpleDB
an implementation of markdown in C, using a PEG (parsing expression grammar). See also markdown-peg, a PEG-based markdown in Haskell.
produces PDF offprints from Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entries.
a Haskell library for working with ZIP archives.
a computer model of the scorekeeping dynamics in Robert Brandom’s Making It Explicit
an online truth table tutor, written in Haskell and Javascript.
a TrueType font for the Navajo language
