DATAGERRY: A CMDB is a database which includes all informations about objects (i.e. servers, routers, locations, maintenance contracts), that are required for operating an IT infrastructure. Also the relationships between objects are stored (i.e. server a is placed on location b). Available solutions tend to be shipped with predefined object types, that often can only be customized with big efforts. DATAGERRY is an enterprise-grade OpenSource CMDB, where object types can be completely defined by the user and can be adapted at runtime. The stored data can be used in different ways, i.e. for automated export to external systems, an intelligent search within the data, or a reporting.

'Diction' identifies wordy and commonly misused phrases; 'style' analyzes surface characteristics of a document, including sentence length and other readability measures. While these programs cannot help you structure a document well, they can help to avoid poor wording and compare the readability of your document with others. Both commands support English and German documents.

Diffutils ,: A group of utilities that displays difference between and among text files. 'diff' outputs the difference between two files in any of several formats. If the files are identical, it normally produces no ouput; if they are binary (non-text) it normally reports only that they are different. 'cmp' shows the offsets and files numbers where two files differ; it can also show, side by side, all the characters that differ between the two files. 'sdiff' merges two files interactively. 'diff3' shows differences among three files. If two people have made independent changes to a common original, diff3 reports that difference between the original and the two changed versions, and can produce a merged file that contains both persons' changes along with warnings about conflicts.

Entities in the source code are documented with special /** comments */ containing @commands, as with the classic tool Doxygen. The source code is parsed and documentation processed into Markdown then HTML. Doxide aims at online documentation with a modern look and responsive design for desktop and mobile devices. Doxide is free software written in C++. It depends on libyaml to parse YAML configuration files and Tree-sitter to parse source code. By generating Markdown, it opens a whole wide world of static site generation tools and themes for presentation. There is particular support for MkDocs and the Material for MkDocs theme. A little extra effort enables alternatives such as Jekyll and Hugo. Other formats such as PDF are possible too, via Pandoc.

Doxygen: Doxygen is a cross-platform, JavaDoc-like documentation system for C++, Java, C, and IDL. Doxygen can be used to generate an on-line class browser (in HTML) and/or an off-line reference manual (in LaTeX or RTF) from a set of source files. Doxygen can also be configured to extract the code-structure from undocumented source files. This can be very useful to quickly find your way in large source distributions.

Doxymacs: 'doxymacs' is an elisp package designed to make using and creating Doxygen easier for Emacs users. It can look up documentation for classes, functions, members, etc in the browser of your choice, fontify Doxygen keywords, and automagically insert Doxygen comments in JavaDoc, Qt, or C++ style. You can also create your own style via templates.

Dungeon-mode: Dungeon-mode is a game engine and REPL for creating and playing multi-user dungeons written primarily in emacs lisp. While playing a game created with dungeon-mode doesn’t necessarily require Emacs authoring game environments (e.g. worlds) does, as do assigning special powers, resolving Ghod calls, Sage encounters, and Ubic -if enabled- or any other or custom events with a dm-intractable property set to a non-nil value. Dungeon Masters may specify delegation rosters to support cooperative oversight and enable teams to direct the play experience.

Dvipng: 'dvipng' makes PNG graphics from DVI files as obtained from TeX and its relatives. It is the fastest bitmap-rendering code for DVI files; on a fairly low-end laptop, it takes less than a second to generate 150 one-formula images. Furthermore, it does not read the postamble, so it can be started before TeX finishes. There is a -follow switch that makes dvipng wait at EOF for further output, unless it finds the POST marker that indicates the end of the DVI. It supports PK and VF fonts, color specials, and more.

E3: e3 is a full-screen, user-friendly text editor with an interface similar to that of either WordStar, Emacs, Pico, Nedit, or vi. It's heavily optimized for size and independent of libc or any other libraries, making it useful for mini-GNU/Linux distributions and rescue disks. There is also a separately distributed version written in C which supports some other Unix versions and CygWin. It is also possible to use regular expressions by using child processes like sed. e3 has a built in arithmetic calculator. The package now supports the ARM Risc CPU, amking it the first assembler program (on user layer) written for 2 different processors (Cisc vs Risc).

EMacro: EMacro is a .emacs that easily configures Emacs and XEmacs on most platforms, without any elisp programming.

EXtrans: eXtrans translates XML documents into other formats or representations. It can output formats HTML, XML, LateX, pictures, sound, or anything else that the python language can manipulate. Those translations are driven by abstract translators (xtrans scripts) embedding python code. The translators are easy to write, since the underlying system habdles all the complicated details of XML parsing, reference resolving, file management and even python programming in a way transparent to the user. This distribution includes GimpClient, a python module for communicating with Gimp. Through it, xtrans scripts can efficiently access a powerful graphics program.

Earm2ipa: This program translates Armenian in UTF-8 Unicode to the International Phonetic Alphabet assuming that the dialect represented is Eastern Armenian.

It sets up key bindings that conform to a common denominator of the Gnome/KDE/OS human interface guidelines, and provides function-key bindings for other powerful Emacs features. It is fully documented, and the new user can productively edit text right away, without going through the Emacs tutorial. Users can access many commonly-used functions without learning the "chords" or multiple keystrokes that Emacs uses by default.

Ed: Ed is a line-oriented text editor: rather than offering an overview of a document, ed performs editing one line at a time. It can be executed both interactively and via shell scripts. Its method of command input allows complex tasks to be performed in an automated way. GNU ed offers several extensions over the standard utility. The original editor for Unix was the most widely available text editor of its time. For most purposes, however, it is superseded by full-screen editors such as GNU Emacs or GNU Moe. N.B. This pacakge also contains a restricted version of ed, red, that can only edit files in the current directory and cannot execute shell commands.

Eddi: Eddi is a powerful and easy-to-use text editor for X. Features include syntax highlighting, macros, filtering through commands, an interface to su (to save eg system config files), and search and replace with regular expressions. It is exteremely intuitive and therefore very easy to use.

EncNotex: EncNotex is a free multiplatform software, which runs natively on GNU/Linux, Windows and macOS, that is useful to write and to manage a file of strongly encrypted textual notes and tasks. It’s aim is to grant the user an highly secure tool to manage very confidential data. For this reason EncNotex uses the AES 256 bit encryption, cipher mode CBC and SHA 512; the user cannot save unencrypted data on the disk, but only copy it in the clipboard; the required password to encrypt a file is necessarily 10 characters long or more, chosen at least from three of these four groups: small and upper case letters, numbers and other characters (asterisk, brackets, etc.); optionally, the password used to save a file could be forgotten by the software and typed again by the user each time a file is to be saved, so that the same password does not remain in the computer’s memory while the software is being used. A file of EncNotex is a textual encrypted file containing many notes (no database is used). To grant a perfect compatibility of data among the different platforms and to be very fast even with big amount of data, EncNotex has a very simple structure of notes. They cannot have pictures inside nor attachments, but their text can be formatted in bold, italic and underline. Every note has a title, a list of tags (keywords) separated by comma and space, a date and a free-length text, and can be printed. The title and the date of every note is shown in a read only grid on the left of the interface of the software, and a note can be shown selecting its title in this grid. Furthermore, in the same grid the title of a note can be indented or deindented, to make it a subnote of the previous one, or moved up and down, along with its possible subnotes. At the left of the text of the notes there is an outlook of its titles, which can be used to reach easily one of them, and of the possible tasks along with their deadline. The tasks of all the notes of a file can be summarized in a list, sorted, filtered and copied in the clipboard to be pasted in a spreadsheet, or saved in csv or ics format. It's possible to search for a note within the titles, the tags, the dates and the texts. A note or all the notes of a file can be copied in the clipboard in HTML format and then pasted in a word processor maintaining the possible HTML tags. Finally, two independent backup files are automatically created when a file is loaded and when it's saved.

Epix: 'ePiX', a collection of batch programs, creates mathematically accurate fgures, plots, and animations containing LaTeX typography. The input syntac is easy to learn. The output -- vector image files or LaTeX picture-like environments -- is expressly designed for use with LaTeX.

Epydoc: Epydoc is a tool for generating API documentation for Python modules, based on their inline documentation strings (docstrings). It produces HTML output (similar to the output produced by javadoc) and PDF output. Epydoc supports four markup languages for documentation strings: Epytext, Javadoc, ReStructuredText, and plaintext.

Essays: Essays 1743 is based on the typeface used in a 1743 English translation of Montaigne's Essays (if you've read any of Neal Stephenson's last three books, you've seen this type of font). It contains 817 characters: all of ASCII, Latin-1, and Latin Extended A; some of Latin Extended B (basically, the ones that are more or less based on Roman letters); and a variety of other characters, such as oddball punctuation, numerals, etc. TrueType and PostScript forms are available.

FbNotex: fbNotex is a free software for macOS useful to manage many textual notes in Markdown format, files and tasks using the Firebird database.

Fig2ps: 'fig2ps' converts xfig files to PS or PDF, processing text using LaTeX. It is intended to help typeset good quality documents, where the font on the pictures is exactly the same as the font in the text. You compile the picture only once and not every time you compile your LaTeX file (as with other xfig exporters such as eepic); this makes it much faster with complex pictures. It should work with LyX.

File: File attempts to classify files depending on their contents and prints a description if a match is found.

Firestr: Fire★ is a a simple platform for decentralized communication and computation. Provides a simple application platform for developing p2p applications and share these applications with others in a chat like user interface. You don't send a message to someone, you send an program, which can have rich content. All programs are wired up together automatically providing distributed communication, either through text, images, or games. The source code to all applications is available immediately to instantly clone and modify.

Fldiff: 'fldiff' is a graphical diff program that shows the differences between two files/directories, or a file/directory and a CVS or Subversion repository. It is inspired by xdiff (Motif-based) and xxdiff (Qt-based), whose choice of GUI toolkit has hampered their portability to many of the systems.

Flowblade: Flowblade Movie Editor is designed to provide a fast, precise and as-simple-as-possible editing experience. Flowblade employs film style editing paradigm in which clips are usually automatically placed tightly after the previous clip - or between two existing clips - when they are inserted on the timeline. Edits are fine-tuned by trimming in and out points of clips, or by cutting and deleting parts of clips. Film style editing is faster for creating programs with mostly straight cuts and audio splits, but may be slower when programs contain complex composites unless correct work flow is followed.

Flpsed: flpsed is a WYSIWYG pseudo PostScript editor. "Pseudo", because you can't remove or modify existing elements of a document. But it does let you add arbitrary text lines to existing PostScript documents. Added lines can later be reedited with flpsed. Using pdftops, one can convert PDF documents to PostScript and also add text to them. flpsed is useful for filling in forms, adding notes etc.

Flyspell: Flyspell is an Emacs minor mode performing on-the-fly spelling checking. This spawns a single Ispell process and checks each word. The default flyspell behavior is to highlight incorrect words. It was hosted for a long time on INRIA Sophia-Antipolis's site in France, but is now maintained as a part of GNU Emacs.

Fntsample: fntsample is a program for making font samples that show Unicode coverage of the font. The samples are similar in appearance to Unicode charts. Samples can be saved as PDF or PostScript files.

The package also contains a tool called "TTX" which converts TrueType/OpenType fonts to and from an XML-based format.

Fontconfig

fontconfig is a library for customizing and configuring fonts in a system, providing configuration, enumeration and substitution of fonts to other programs. Applications can use fontconfig in two ways:

by querying it for the available fonts on the system, or
by querying it for a font matching certain parameters (comprising a pattern) as closely as possible.

To perform font matching, fontconfig stores typesetting information about all of the installed fonts, including the name of the font family, style, weight, dots per inch (DPI), and Unicode coverage. This information is also used to perform font substitution.

Features

fontconfig can:

discover new fonts when installed automatically, removing a common source of configuration problems.
perform font name substitution, so that appropriate alternative fonts can be selected if fonts are missing.
identify the set of fonts required to completely cover a set of languages.
have GUI configuration tools built as it uses an XML-based configuration file (though with autodiscovery, we believe this need is minimized).
efficiently and quickly find the fonts you need among the set of fonts you have installed, even if you have installed thousands of fonts, while minimizing memory usage.
be used in concert with the X Render Extension and FreeType to implement high quality, anti-aliased and subpixel rendered text on a display.

fontconfig does not:

render the fonts themselves (this is left to FreeType or other rendering mechanisms)
depend on the X Window System in any fashion, so that printer only applications do not have such dependencies

Fontlinge: Fontlinge searches for font files, sorts them into folders by name and look and with human readable names, stores gathered font information in a database, can generate previews and posters, can find and remove duplicates, and can reunite PostScript font families. It also has a web interface for browsing through your fonts. It shows detail previews and font infos, provides font download as a tarball, and can sort fonts. This package is no longer maintained.

Fontopia: Fontopia is an easy-to-use, text-based, console font editor. It's used to edit the fonts that GNU/Linux uses to display text on text-based terminals. Fontopia works on both PSF 1 & 2, BDF, Code Paged (CP) fonts, and Raw font files. It provides a user-friendly, easy-to-use glyph editor and it can easily change font metrics (e.g. length, width, and height) and convert between different font formats.

Fontutils: The GNU Font Utilities (a.k.a. Fontutils) create fonts for use with Ghostscript or TeX. They also contain general conversion programs and other utilities. Some of the programs in Fontutils include bpltobzr, bzrto, charspace, fontconvert, gsrenderfont, imageto, imgrotate… The main purpose of these programs is to form a tool chain to generate Metafont or PostScript fonts from scanned images.

Form Alchemy: FormAlchemy eliminates boilerplate by autogenerating HTML input fields from a given model. FormAlchemy will try to figure out what kind of HTML code should be returned by introspecting the model's properties and generate ready-to-use HTML code that will fit the developer's application. Of course, FormAlchemy can't figure out everything, i.e, the developer might want to display only a few columns from the given model. Thus, FormAlchemy is also highly customizable.

FormatPDF: FormatPDF.com is a website that offers free online tools for converting various file formats to PDF format and vice versa. Users can easily convert files such as Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, images, and more to PDF format, or convert PDF files to other formats.

The tools are easy to use and do not require any software installation. Additionally, FormatPDF.com prioritizes user privacy and security, and all uploaded files are automatically deleted from the server after conversion.

Free Bangla Fonts: The Free Bangla Fonts project is dedicated to creating free, completely Unicode compliant Open Type Bengali fonts. It also aims to be the central resource for getting and developing Free Bengali fonts. The initial goal is to release a full set of Bengali fonts that supports all the major Bengali Yuktakhars (conjuncts). The Akaash set of fonts aims to be such a set. We also plan to convert the other existing Free Bangla (non Unicode compliant) fonts into Unicode compliant Bengali Open Type fonts. Five sets of fonts are currently under development. The Akaash set will have three OTFs, AkaashNormal.ttf, AkaashWide.ttf and AkaashSlanted.ttf. Development is currently going on in the AkaashNormal.ttf, and we aim to move to AkaashWide and AkaashSlanted as soon as possible. The Ani set has two fonts, Ani.ttf and Mitra.ttf. The Mitra font is a monospaced fonts, which is useful in certain specialised applications. The Mukti set has four fonts, MuktiRegular.ttf, MuktiBold.ttf, MuktiNarrow.ttf, and MuktiNarrowBold.ttf. The Likhan and Sagar sets of fonts are also being developed.

Geiriadur: 'Geiriadur' combines a dictionary lookup engine and a dictionary editing system. It's developed as a tool to create Welsh-Russian and Russian-Welsh dictionaries, but it can also be used for other languages. It consists of two components: a dictionary CORBA server and the Web interface for it. The system works through "words" and "translations". A "translation" is a pair of words or a word with explanation; a "word" means a string of letters without a space, possessing independent meaning in some language. Words can have transcription, attributes (gender, aspect etc.), and "stems" and irregular forms. Regular forms are produced dynamically during a search from "stems" and "endings". The system understands mutations and different spellings (American English, Middle Welsh etc.) If a direct search (with the first word in translations table) yields no results, the system performs an inverse search or asks the user to try a cross-search through a third language.

It also highlights the matches, displays context (preceding and succeeding lines), does case-insensitive matches, and automatic exclusion of non-text files. It supports most options from GNU grep.

Glatex: glatex is a small program designed to help you to edit your LaTeX document files (sources, styles, bibliography, figures, postscript images, etc.). It maintains a list of all your editable files in order to allow you to edit them quickly. But you can also launch the compilator, viewer, and print commands, and it allows you to have document templates for creating new projects. It is not intended to manage the files themselves. For example, if you move a file from one directory to another, you'll have to remove it from the list and re-add it from its new location.

Glimmer: Glimmer is a code editor that can be used with almost any language. It uses the GTK+ widget set adn the GNOME libraries. Current features include drag and drop support, syntax and bracket highlighting, the ability to build from within the editor, the ability to save sessions of different code files open at once. It supports for more than 20 languages, and is completely scriptable with Python. This project was formerly known as 'code commander.'

Glossword: Glossword is a system to create and publish online multilingual dictionary, glossary, or encyclopedia. It includes multiple language support, themes, a powerful administration interface, built-in search and cache engines, export/import dictionaries in XML and CSV format, and W3C-validated code.

Gman: Gman is a user-friendly graphical front end for the man system mostly designed for the new users of GNU/Linux. It can help a newbie find specific information or browse other man pages. It is particularly useful as a replacement for xman. Gman's most basic job is to build a database for all the man pages and display them (or part of them) as a list. When the user decides to read a specific man page, gman will launch a xterm window and call the traditional man system to display the man page in the window.

Gnotepad+: A simple HTML and text editor for UNIX-based systems running X11 and using GTK and/or GNOME. It was designed to have as little bloat as possible while retaining the features of a modern GUI-based text editor. It remains small for the number of features it contains, and will remain that way. Features includes multiple windows and multiple documents, a complete preferences system, HTML tag insertions and editing dialogs, unlimited redo and undo, autosave, file locking using fcntl() of flock(), and the ability to drag and drop files between gnotepad+ and other applications. This project was a GNU package. It has since been decommissioned and is no longer developed.

Grep: Grep is a tool for finding text inside files. Text is found by matching a pattern provided by the user in one or many files. The pattern may be provided as a basic or extended regular expression, or as fixed strings. By default, the matching text is simply printed to the screen, however the output can be greatly customized to include, for example, line numbers. GNU grep offers many extensions over the standard utility, including, for example, recursive directory searching.

Grocy: grocy privately tracks your purchases, automates and optimizes your shopping list, helps you waste less, and helps you create and maintain recipes. Apart from a meal planning, grocy helps you manage your household equipment, your household chores, your tasks, and your batteries. You can connect to your grocy server through several tools.

Groff: Based on a device-independent version of `troff,' `groff' (GNU Troff) is a document processor which reads plain text and formatting commands, produces formatted output from them, and then outputs it to another device. The package is essential for viewing online manual pages. Output can be produced in a number of formats including plain ASCII and PostScript. All the standard macro packages are supported.

Gtkdiff: A diff front end program using gtk+, primarily used as a front end to the 'diff' command to compare files. It has diff3 and merge features.

Guncat

Guncat acts like unix's cat command, but handles (partially) encrypted sections of processed files. Sections of guncat's input files which are surrounded by -----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE----- and

END PGP MESSAGE----- markers are decrypted before being

concatenated to the standard output stream.

Guncat's output (i.e., the standard output stream) may subsequently be processed by other programs, like grep or less. Guncat supports reading a decryption passphrase either from stdin or from gpg-agent.

Guncat stands for (Gpg UNencrypting CAT) and was designed to facilitate searching through (partially) PGP encrypted files, as

encountered in mailboxes, for example.

HSpell: The Hspell project is a free Hebrew linguistic project. Its first aim is to create a free Hebrew spell-checker, and a fully functional and already useful release 0.2 is now available (see below). However the databases and algorithms developed by the Hspell program could also be used as a morphology engine (for example, for search engines), and in the future (with much more work) for advanced things like Hebrew speech synthesis (for the blind who use a free operating system, but also useful for the general population)

HTML GenToc: HTML::GenToc lets you specify significant elements that will be hyperlinked to in a Table of Contents (ToC) for a given set of HTML documents. It does not require those documents to be strict HTML, which makes it suitable for using with templates, included files, and meta-languages such as WML or PHP.

Hashed Text Utilities: This is a candidate for deletion: Links broken. Email to maintainer broken. Poppy-one (talk) 12:50, 3 August 2018 (EDT) Hashed Text Utilities is a small set of programs reimplementing the classic comm, diff, uniq, and cksum programs. The advantage is that for comm and uniq files don't have to be sorted. diff can work with extremely huge files (with some limitations). cksum calculates a checksum of either the whole file or each line separately.

Header Browser: Header Browser helps you to create documentation from your C/C++ header files. It is similar to JavaDoc, Doc++, or KDoc, but it doesn't just create documentation pages; it allows you to really browse your APIs using a five columns view like NeXT's HeaderViewer.

Sasankadeva (Unicode) is semi-phonetic transliteration keyboard, i.e., a midway between the accuracy of grammatical typing and the ease of phonetic Indic typing. The ease has been ensured in many ways, including spelling statistics, character combinations and multiple options to be used as suits. Along with its own set of input keys, most popular input strings from widely used Avro Phonetic and itrans-Bangla are also supported. Apart from useful well-defined shortcuts that save time while typing, there are fixed phonetic-based layout for all usual character combinations in Indian Bengali, so that the user can practically type without looking at the screen if he chooses to. Also, suggestions come up to be selected from, if one is more comfortable with them. It aims at making an algorithm that provides space for both well-defined inputs with phonetic variations, has sets of methods that suits both professional and layman typing with one or two hands, that are easy to learn and easier to apply. The interface has been built in ibus-table environment. Official website: https://sites.google.com/view/sasankadeva

Ide.php: 'Ide.php' is a Web-based editor for quick development of server side code. It has a rapid prototyping environment so you can test and save snippets of code with minimal overhead. You can use it to develop PHP, ASP, JSP, SSI, HTML, or CGI.

Imediff2: Imediff2 merges two (slightly different) files interactively with a user-friendly fullscreen interface in text mode. It shows the differences between the two files (in color if the terminal supports them), lets you scroll the file, and toggles changes between the old and new versions one by one. Unlike split screen based merge tools, it shows only one version at a time, making it more WYSIWYG.

Indexed PDF Creator: Indexed PDF Creator creates indexed PDF documents from text files. It was primarily written as a utility to convert old mainframe print formats to something that can easily be posted on the Web. It allows indexing, customizing page settings, font size, font face, and superimposing text over an image in the case of using pre-printed forms. It supports unlimited levels of indexing bookmarks in documents and system/user configuration files

Info to html: info_to_html does everything info2html does, and more. Added features include links to other info files, the ability to read compressed files, and a nicer layout.

Info2html: Info files are text files with embedded link directives. They are usually read with emacs or a special purpose browser. 'info2html' looks for a specific info node in an info file and translates it to HTML syntax. Link directives are translated in URLs pointing back to the server. Some icons are provided for link directives and cross references. infocat is a little front-end that gives an index of the .info files available via the local info2html server.

InkStitch: Ink/Stitch aims to be a full-fledged, cross-platform embroidery digitizing platform based entirely on free, open-source software. Our goal is to be approachable for hobbyists while also providing the power needed by professional digitizers.

Inkscape: Inkscape is an SVG editor. Supported SVG features include basic shapes, paths, text, alpha blending, transforms, gradients, filters, node editing, PNG export, grouping, and more. It is meant to provide the free software community with a fully XML, SVG, and CSS2 compliant SVG drawing tool.

Intlfonts: Intlfonts contains free X11 fonts in the BDF and TrueType formats. They notably cover a large number of characters from different writing systems: European, Asian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Ethiopic and others. These fonts allow multilingual PostScript printing from Emacs. This is a GNU package.

Isabella: This font, called 'Isabella' is based on the calligraphic hand used in the Isabella Breviary, made around 1497, in Holland, for Isabella of Castille, the first queen of united Spain. It has all of ASCII, Latin-1, Latin Extended A, about a third of Latin Extended B, Latin Extended Additional, plus punctuation, and should work for most languages that use the Roman alphabet. Modern characters (@, for example) were drawn as best possible. The primary design goal was to make such characters look like they were done with a calligraphic pen; the secondary goal was to look like the other characters of the font. The copyright sign, for example, is made by shrinking down the letter "c" and placing it inside a circle. It also has a Euro symbol. 'Isabella' is available in TrueType and PosctScript (author notes that the PostScript version acts oddly in on-screen use).

Ispell: Interactive spell checker that suggests "near misses" to replace unrecognized words.

JDynamiTe

JDynamiTe is a tool which allows you to dynamically create documents in any format from "template" documents. Some typical usage domains of JDynamiTe are:

dynamic Web pages creation,
text document generation,
source code generation...

In fact, it can be useful in any case where pre-defined documents (templates) have to be dynamically populated with data. The main benefit of JDynamiTe is to allow a true separation between data (content), presentation (container) and content generation code (written in Java). JDynamiTe does not include a specific template language, and it is not a complete framework. It is a simple "brick" in your software architecture, a "glue" between your data model and your presentation model.

JEdit

jEdit is an IDE written in Java. Some of its features include:

Built-in macro language; extensible plugin architecture. Hundreds of macros and plugins available.
Plugins can be downloaded and installed from within jEdit using the "plugin manager" feature.
Auto indent, and syntax highlighting for more than 200 languages.
Supports a large number of character encodings including UTF8 and Unicode.
Folding for selectively hiding regions of text.
Word wrap.
Highly configurable and customizable.
Every other feature, both basic and advanced, you would expect to find in a text editor.

JEdit Syntax Package: The jEdit Syntax Package is a stand-alone version of the text control from an older version of jEdit. It supports features such as syntax highlighting, bracket matching, rectangular editing, macro recording, and more. The jEdit Syntax Package is lightweight, and meant solely for embedding into Java user interfaces. It does not include some of the nicer features of jEdit, including plugins, and scripting.

Jade Editor: Jade is an Emacs-like text editor that implements most basic Emacs functionality, but is not intended as a straight clone. The Lisp dialect is intended to be compatible with Emacs Lisp, but the interface to the editor internals is not, due to differing philosophies behind the implementations. As a result, most Lisp code written for GNU Emacs will not work; basic GNU Emacs emulation interfaces may be added in the future. Commands are implemented in Lisp, which allows for comprehensive customisation and extension.

Jamdict: Jamdict is a command-line application as well as a Python 3 package for querying and managing Japanese dictionaries and resources (Jim Breen's JMdict, KanjiDic2, KRADFILE, JMnedict)

Java2html

When given a source java file, program produces an HTML source with syntax highlighting.

Java2html is now part of GNU Source-highlight

JavaDICT: This is a candidate for deletion: Cannot find download. Email to maintainer broken. Poppy-one (talk) 13:23, 6 August 2018 (EDT) JavaDICT is a server for the DICT protocol (RFC 2229), a TCP transaction-based query/response protocol that lets a client access dictionary definitions from a set of natural language dictionary databases. So far it is the only DICT server that lets you access dictionaries stored in a database (currently only PostgreSQL is supported).

Jaxml: Jaxml is a python module designed to automatically generate human readable documents.

Joe: JOE (Joe's Own Editor) is a small, terminal-based, lightweight, emacs-like editor originally written in 1991. Termcap/Terminfo support allows JOE to use any terminal or terminal emulator. Much of the look and feel of JOE is determined by its simple configuration file "joerc". This package is maintained again by its original author, after a period of absence in which another team continued development.

Joplin: Joplin is a free, open source note taking and to-do application, which can handle a large number of notes organised into notebooks. The notes are searchable, can be copied, tagged and modified either from the applications directly or from your own text editor. The notes are in Markdown format. Notes exported from Evernote via .enex files can be imported into Joplin, including the formatted content (which is converted to Markdown), resources (images, attachments, etc.) and complete metadata (geolocation, updated time, created time, etc.). Plain Markdown files can also be imported. The notes can be synchronised with various cloud services including Nextcloud, Dropbox, OneDrive, WebDAV or the file system (for example with a network directory). When synchronising the notes, notebooks, tags and other metadata are saved to plain text files which can be easily inspected, backed up and moved around. The application is available for Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and iOS (the terminal app also works on FreeBSD). A Web Clipper, to save web pages and screenshots from your browser, is also available for Firefox and Chrome.

Jove: Jove is a compact, powerful, Emacs-style text-editor. It provides the common emacs keyboard bindings, together with a reasonable assortment of the most popular advanced features (e.g., interactive shell windows, compile-it, language specific modes) while weighing in with CPU, memory, and disk requirements comparable to vi.

Jq: jq accepts a stream of JSON and then transforms it (selecting, iterating, reducing, etc) through one or more filters and then pretty-prints the results. jq is like sed for JSON data - you can use it to slice and filter and map and transform structured data with the same ease that sed, Gawk, grep and friends let you play with text.

Junicode: The Junicode font is designed to meet the needs of medieval scholars; however, it has a large enough character set to be useful to the general user. It comes in Regular, Italic, Bold and Bold Italic faces. The Regular face has the fullest character set, and is richest in OpenType features.

Jupp: Joe, the Joe's Own Editor, has the feel of most PC text editors: the key sequences are reminiscent of WordStar and Turbo C editors, but the feature set is much larger than of those. Joe has all of the features a Unix user should expect: full use of termcap/terminfo, complete VI-style Unix integration, a powerful configuration file, and regular expression search system. It also has nine help reference cards which are always available, and an intuitive, simple, and well thought-out user interface. Joe has a great screen update optimisation algorithm, multiple windows (through/between which you can scroll) and lacks the confusing notion of named buffers. It has command history, TAB expansion in file selection menus, undo and redo functions, (un)indenting and paragraph formatting, filtering highlighted blocks through any external Unix command, editing a pipe into or out of a command, block move, copy, delete or filter, a bracketed paste mode automatically enabled on xterm-xfree86 and decimal and hexadecimal gotos for lines, columns, and file offsets. Through simple QEdit-style configuration files, Joe can be set up to emulate editors such as Pico and Emacs, along with a complete imitation of WordStar in non-document mode, and a restricted mode version (lets you edit only the files specified on the command line). Joe also has a deferred screen update to handle typeahead, and it ensures that deferral is not bypassed by tty buffering. It's usable even at 2400 baud, and it will work on any kind of sane terminal. Furthermore, it supports SELinux context copying on Debian systems with the Linux kernel.

Juriscraper

Juriscraper is a scraper library that gathers judicial opinions and oral arguments in the American court system. It is currently able to scrape:

a variety of pages and reports within the PACER system
opinions from all major appellate Federal courts
opinions from all state courts of last resort except for Georgia (typically their "Supreme Court")
oral arguments from all appellate federal courts that offer them

KDiff3: KDiff3 compares two or three text input files or directories, shows the differences line by line and character by character, provides an automatic merge facility and an integrated editor for comfortable solving of merge conflicts, and has an intuitive GUI.

KVortaro: KVortaro is a tool to translate words from one language into another. The word to translate can be selected by clicking on a word anywhere on the desktop; a small window will then pop-up close to the mouse pointer and show the translation. Enclosed are dictionaries for Esperanto-German and English-German.

KWrite: 'KWrite' is a simple text editor, with syntax highlighting, codefolding, dynamic word wrap and more, it's the lightweight version of Kate, providing more speed for minor tasks. It ships per default with KDEBASE package.

Katoob: Katoob is a light-weight, multi lingual, BIDI-aware text editor. It supports opening and saving files in multiple encodings. The main support was for the Arabic language but other languages are also supported.

Kile: Kile is a LaTeX source editor, TeX shell, and gnuplot frontend for KDE 3. It integrates many tools needed to develop documents with LaTeX. The principal LaTex tags can be inserted directly with the "LaTeX", "Math" and "Greek" menus, and LaTeX-related programs can be launched via the "Tools" menu. Kile includes a "structure view" of a document for easier navigation: by clicking on an item in the "Structure" frame, you can jump directly to the corresponding part of a document. The "Messages/Log File" frame lets users see information about processes and the logfile after a LaTeX compilation; The "Next Latex Error" and "Previous Latex Error" commands let you reach the LaTeX errors detected by Kile in the log file. The program also has a gnuplot front end.

KnowIt: KnowIt is a simple tool for managing notes. It is similar to TuxCards, but KDE-based. Notes are organized in tree-like hierarchy, texts are in RichText format, so bold, italic and lists are supported.

Ktexmaker2: * 'Ktexmaker' renamed to 'texmaker' Ktexmaker2 is a LaTeX source editor and TeX shell for KDE2. The principal LaTeX tags can be inserted directly with menus. LaTeX-related programs can be launched launched automatically with menus or manually via the "TeX Terminal" (a special xterm session).

Kunjika: This is a web-basd Q&A framework similar to StackOverflow. It uses the Python Flask framework, Couchbase for database, and Memcached functionality.

Kupu: Kupu is a 'document-centric' client-side cross browser editor. Inspired by Maik Jablonski's Epoz editor, it was written by Paul Everitt, Guido Wesdorp and Philipp von Weitershausen (and several other contributors, for a complete list refer to the CREDITS.txt file) to improve the JavaScript code and architecture, pluggability, standards support, support for other webservers than Zope (which was the original target platform for Epoz), configurability and a lot of other issues.

Kwaff: Kwaff is a pretty tool to convert Kwaff format document into XML document, and also convert XML into Kwaff. Kwaff format is a friendly format for human to read and write than XML. Kwaff format makes XML as easy as YAML to read and write.

Kwalify: Kwalify is a parser, schema validator, and data binding tool for YAML and JSON. YAML and JSON are simple and nice format for structured data and easier for human to read and write than XML. But there have been no schema for YAML such as RelaxNG or DTD. Kwalify gets over this situation. From version 0.7, Kwalify supports data binding. If you specify class name in schema file, Kwalify YAML parser creates instance objects of that class instead of Hash objects. It means that you don't have to convert Hash into proper object any more. Data binding makes YAML much easier to handle and manipulate.

L2P: 'L2P' creates PNG images from LaTeX math expressions. It can work with either a fragment of LaTeX code (such as $\frac{x^2+1}{3-x}$) or with a full LaTeX document. It is designed to be fast, robust, and to offer the user a high degree of flexibility and control. It includes complete documentation.

LTchinese: ltchinese - A library of utilities for the Chinese language (pinyin, zhuyin, encodings, phonetics, etc.) from http://lost-theory.org.

LaTeX: LaTeX is a document preparation system for high-quality typesetting based on TeX. It is most often used for medium-to-large technical or scientific documents, but it can be used for almost any form of publishing. It is not a word processor; instead, it encourages authors not to worry too much about the appearance of their documents, but to concentrate on getting the right content.

LaTeX CD class: This class allows one to print CD covers using LaTeX. Its main features are easy batch printing with crop marks and track number generation.

Lahelper: LaHelper is a GUI that helps in writing documents using LaTeX markup It lets the user navigate a wide selection of LaTeX structure and formatting tags that are used to write a document in LaTeX. It also has a raw text input box with a LaTeX preview for testing out LaTeX markup. Also, each markup has associated help text and is automatically selected to be ready to paste into the user's text editor. Also, this GUI lets the user choose which text editor and supporting programs are used to create their LaTeX document instead of forcing them into a particular interface of a pre-defined IDE.

LanguageTool: ⚠ Antifeature: Bait and surrender

“Upgrade to Premium and get advanced grammar and style suggestions for long texts.” - LanguageTool
⚠ Antifeature: Non-Free Network Services

LanguageTool website connects to a proprietary sister project LanguageTool Plus, which provides improved error detection for English and German, as well as easier revision of longer texts, following the open-core model.
It finds many errors that a simple spell checker cannot detect and several grammar problems. There are a few versions available: standalone desktop client, LibreOffice extension and IceCat add-on. This entry is about the desktop client.

Latex4jed: 'latex4jed' is an S-Lang file for the Jed editor which provides a greatly enhanced LaTeX mode designed with both the beginner and the advanced LaTeX user in mind. Its features include menus, shortcuts, templates, syntax highlighting, document outlines, integrated debugging, symbol completion, full integration with external programs, and more.

It is slightly similar to Norton Editor, but has more features.

Leafpad: 'Leafpad' is a simple GTK+ based text editor. The user interface is similar to "notepad", and it aims to be lighter than GEdit and KWrite and to be as useful as them. It has no toolbar, which maximizes the text viewing area; a single document interface (SDI), to set out windows to view one at a time; and character coding autodetection, to open a file quickly without multi-codeset problems. 'Leafpad' is best used with a lightweight window manager such as xfce, rox, or Icewm.

Less: Less is a paginator file similar to 'more' or 'pg,' but that allows backward as well as forward movement through the file. In addition, it doesn't have to read the entire input file before starting, so it starts large files faster than text editors like vi. Less uses termcap (or terminfo on some terminals) so it can run on a variety of terminals; there is even limited support for hard copy terminals.

Lesspipe.sh: lesspipe.sh is an input filter for the pager 'less' as described in less's man page. It runs under a ksh-compatible shell (ksh, bash, zsh) and lets you use 'less' to view compressed files, archives, and files contained in archives. Viewing files by accessing a device file has been implemented for DOS filesystems and tar files only. The following formats are currently supported (both as plain and compressed files using compress, gzip, bzip2, or zip): tar, nroff, (sh)ar, executables, directories, RPM and Debian (.deb) Archives, Microsoft Word, files and PDF.

With LiberaForms you can browse, edit, and download the answers to your forms; include a checkbox to require Data protection law consent, collaborate with other users by sharing permissions; and much more!

Library to create PostScript files: pslib is a C-library for generating PostScript files with little effort. It offers an easy way of generating PostScript text and graphics. Its text function are very sophisticated and support kerning, ligatures and some basic formatting. Hypertext functions are supported through pdfmarks which makes pslib in combination with ghostscript a viable alternative for libraries creating PDF.

LibreOffice: LibreOffice is a comprehensive office suite. It contains a number of components: Writer, a word processor; Calc, a spreadsheet application; Impress, a presentation engine; Draw, a drawing and flowcharting application; Base, a database and database frontend; Math for editing mathematics. There are also a good and growing number of free software extensions and templates available. LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice.org, which is now called Apache OpenOffice. Because Apache OpenOffice hosts and recommends using proprietary extensions, we do not recommend using it.

Libtecla: The Tecla library provides programs with interactive command line editing facilities, similar to those of the unix tcsh shell. It supports recall and editing of previously entered command lines, TAB completion of file names and application specific tokens, and in-line wild-card expansion of filenames. The optionally reentrant modules which perform TAB completion and wild-card expansion are also available separately for general use.

Lifeograph: Lifeograph is an off-line and private journal and note taking application.

Light Table: Light Table is a next generation code editor written in Clojure and using Web technologies.

Lime Text: Lime Text is a powerful and elegant editor, aiming to be successor to Sublime Text. Lime has a few frontends (QML, command-line interface) that can be selectively used with the pluggable back-end.

Linedit: 'Linedit' is a readline-style library that provides customizable line editing features. It uses UFFI for foreign bindings, so it is (theoretically) portable. It supersedes Cl-readline. It functions as both a single line text reader and a nulti-line form reader. It has completion on packages and symbols in the current image, as well as on directories and filenames. It has unlimited undo, kill-ring, and history, as well as paren matching.

Link Grammar: The Link Grammar Parser is a syntactic parser of English, based on link grammar, an original theory of English syntax. The system assigns to a sentence a syntactic structure, which consists of a set of labeled links connecting pairs of words. The parser also produces a "constituent" representation of a sentence (showing noun phrases, verb phrases, etc.). The parser has a dictionary of about 60000 word forms. It covers a range of syntactic constructions, including many rare and idiomatic ones. The parser skips over the portions of the sentence that it cannot understand, and assigns some structure to the rest of the sentence. It can handle unknown vocabulary, and makes intelligent guesses from context and spelling about the syntactic categories of unknown words. It understands capitalization, numerical expressions, and various punctuation symbols.

Lino: Lino is an extension to Django. It replaces Django's admin interface by a fundamentally different approach of designing a web user interface. It adds features like field injection and plugin inheritance to make plugins more reusable.

Lout

Lout is a document formatting system similar to LaTeX. The system reads a high-level description of a document similar in style to LaTeX and produces a PostScript file which can be printed on most laser printers and graphic display devices. Plain text and PDF (starting from version 3.12) output are also available. Furthermore, Lout is easily extended with definitions which are easier to write than troff or TeX macros because Lout is a high-level language. Lout offers an unprecedented range of advanced features, including:

optimal paragraph breaking
automatic hyphenation
PostScript EPS file inclusion and generation
equation formatting
tables
diagrams
rotation and scaling
sorted indexes
bibliographic databases
running headers and odd
even pages
automatic cross referencing
multilingual documents including hyphenation (most European languages are supported, including Russian)
formatting of C, C++, Java, Eiffel, and other programs

Lpe: Lpe is a small, fast, visual text editor designed to make editing code easier. It provides simultaneously all the features that may be required in a good code editor while preserving a light and intuitive feel that makes it nice to use. It supports seven different languages.

Luacheck: Luacheck is a static analyzer and also a linter for the Lua programming language. You can customize and configure the program to your likings the syntax supports Lua 5.1, Lua 5.2, Lua 5.3, Lua 5.4 and LuaJIT. The program is written in Lua too.

LyX: LyX is an advanced document processor. It encourages an approach to writing based on the structure of your documents, not their appearance, allowing you to concentrate on writing rather than visual layout. It automates formatting according to predefined rule sets, yielding consistency throughout even the most complex documents.

M4: M4 is an implementation of the M4 macro language, which features some extensions over other implementations, some of which are required by GNU Autoconf. It is used as a macro processor, which means it processes text, expanding macros as it encounters them. It also has some built-in functions, for example to run shell commands or to do arithmetic.

MESICON: Free software to assist in cataloguing challenging items in museum libraries (for example).

Mad Builder: Mad Builder PDF Assembler is a tool for assembling/merging pdf files, extracting information from PDF files, and updating PDF files metadata. In assembling mode (the default mode), it concatenates only pages, other than the outlines. Users can also add outlines via a definition file of outline. By default, file are sorted in alphabetic order before assembling.

MagicPO: MagicPO is a utility to automatically translate a gettext po-file from one language to another. It is useful for languages that are close to each other such as Norwegian Nynorsk and Norwegian BokmÃÂ¥l, and Norwegian BokmÃÂ¥l and Danish. It is also useful for automatically fixing common mistakes in files.

Majix: 'MajiX' transforms RTF files such as Microsoft Word documents into XML. It can convert headings, lists (numbered or not), simple tables, bold, italics, and underline.

Man: The man pager suite (man, apropos, and whatis) contains programs used to read most of the documentation on a GNU/ Linux system. The whatis and apropos programs are used to find documentation related to a particular subject.

Man-db: This package provides the man command. This utility is the primary way of examining the on-line help files (manual pages). Other utilities provided include the whatis and apropos commands for searching the manual page database, the manpath utility for determining the manual page search path, and the maintenance utilities mandb, catman, and zsoelim. This package uses the groff suite of programs to format and display the manual pages.

Man2web: 'man2web' converts man pages to HTML via a CGI program or the command line. It also handles keyword (apropos) searches and generates section indexes.

Mandoc: Mandoc is a suite of tools compiling mdoc, the roff macro language of choice for BSD manual pages, and man, the predominant historical language for UNIX manuals.
