I agree you could build something like this with one of the open source CMS packages that are out there.<br>
<br>
Personally, I would use Drupal, combined with its "Content Construction Kit" "Views" "Diff" "DruTeX" and "PDF version" module. You can define each document type with its predefined sections as a custom content type. Drupal provides the functions to create, edit and save documents. The Diff module allows you to track revisions and revert to previous versions. DruTeX and PDF Version provide the LaTeX and PDF functionality you want. As a plus, you could easily use the same system to let other collaborate on the documents as well.<br>
<br>Once you get going with the basic Drupal structure, you could easily pull this together in an afternoon.<br><br>Curtis<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 11, 2009 at 12:05 PM, Jay Austad <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:austad@signal15.com">austad@signal15.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I'm looking for a web based document repository/version control/<br>
development system. I want have premade sections that usually go into<br>
a document that I can keep updated with current data and information.<br>
I want to be able to predefine outlines for different types of<br>
documents, and when I select one, it will show me a list of which<br>
predefined sections are going to go into it, and I can modify<br>
appropriately.<br>
<br>
Then, it would generate the document, section by section in a web<br>
page. I can go into each text box, make changes as appropriate and<br>
save it. Version control on my saves would be a plus.<br>
<br>
When I'm ready to generate a printable document, it uses LaTex and a<br>
predefined style and generates a PDF.<br>
<br>
I know this is a tall order. Does anyone know if there is anything<br>
out there now that does something similar to this, or something which<br>
I could easily modify to make it do this?<br>
