Yodl implements a pre-document language and tools to process it. The idea behind Yodl is that you write up a document in a pre-language, then use the tools (e.g. yodl2html(1)) to convert it to some final document language. Current converters are for HTML, man, LaTeX, text and a (very) experimental xml converter. Main document types are "article", "report", "book" "manpage" and "letter". The Yodl document language was designed to be easy to use as well as extensible. To create the program from its sources, either descend into the yodl directory, or unpack a created archive, cd into its top-level directory and follow the instructions provided in the INSTALL file found there. Alternatively, binary ready-to-install versions of the yodl program are available in various Linux distributions, in particular Debian. See, e.g., https://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=yodl&searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all Gitlab's web-pages for yodl are here: https://fbb-git.gitlab.io/yodl/
