CHPP 0.3.2
==========
CHPP is a powerful preprocessor originally designed for, but not
limited to, HTML.
We have used CHPP successfully in the creation of simple and complex
web-pages, web-databases, QuakeWorld (tm) configuration files and data
processing tasks usually done with tools like GAWK.
Features
--------
CHPP combines features of CPP, M4, Perl and Scheme. Still, we have
tried and succeeded in keeping the language pretty simple.
Among the features of CHPP are:
- CHPP is non-intrusive, i.e. you can take already existing text and
just pipe it through CHPP and it is likely it won't change.
- User-defined macros, which can be recursive
- Complex data structures (lists and hashes)
- Powerful looping constructs
- Regular expression matching
- Support for CGI scripting
- An interface to SQL-Servers (at the moment mSQL and MySQL).
Documentation
-------------
A reference manual for CHPP is included in the distribution.
Platforms
---------
Our main development platform for CHPP is gnu-linux-i386. CHPP has
been tested on the following platforms:
gnu-linux-i386
gnu-linux-powerpc
gnu-linux-alpha
digitalunix-alpha
openstep-i386
aix-rs6000
Licence and Availability
------------------------
CHPP is distributed under the terms of the GPL.
The source of CHPP is available at the CHPP homepage at
http://chakotay.ml.org/
or, if your browser does not grok HTTP/1.1

Mailing Lists
-------------
There are two CHPP mailing lists:
chpp-announce@mondoshawan.unix.cslab.tuwien.ac.at
Announcements regarding CHPP.
chpp-general@mondoshawan.unix.cslab.tuwien.ac.at
Discussions about using CHPP, bug reports,
development of CHPP etc.
Everything that gets posted to chpp-announce gets posted to
chpp-general too, so you only have to subscribe to one list. To
subscribe to one of the lists, write a mail to either
chpp-announce-request@mondoshawan.unix.cslab.tuwien.ac.at
chpp-general-request@mondoshawan.unix.cslab.tuwien.ac.at
with the line

in the body.
