ogmarkup

What is ogmarkup?

Typographic rules can be trick to enforce in a consistent manner in a document. In French, typographic rules for dialogues are arguably worst. ogmarkup is part of the so-called ogma-project. It is a minimal domain-specific markup language, intended to free fiction writers from the pain to enforce typographic rules within their productions manually.
