DataMelt: DataMelt (DMelt) is an environment for numeric computation, statistical analysis, data mining, and graphical data visualization on the Java platform. This Java multiplatform program is integrated with a number of scripting languages: Jython (Python), Groovy, JRuby, BeanShell. DMelt can be used to plot functions and data in 2D and 3D, perform statistical tests, data mining, numeric computations, function minimization, linear algebra, solving systems of linear and differential equations. Linear, non-linear and symbolic regression are also available. Neural networks and various data-manipulation methods are integrated using powerful Java API. Elements of symbolic computations using Octave/Matlab scripting are supported.

Dav: Dav (Dav Ain't Vi) is meant to provide a stable text editor that is efficient in both memory and processor usage. Its user interface is designed to be intuitive and to increase productivity.

DejaVu fonts: The DejaVu fonts are a font family based on the Bitstream Vera Fonts. Its purpose is to provide a wider range of characters while maintaining the original look and feel. The family is available as TrueType fonts and also as third-party packages for various operating systems, including handhelds.

Deplate: 'deplate' is a tool for converting documents written in an unobtrusive, wiki-like markup to LaTeX, DocBook, HTML, or "HTML slides". It supports embedded LaTeX code, footnotes, citations, bibliographies, automatic generation of an index, etc. In contrast to many wiki engines, it is intended for "offline" use as a document preparation tool.

Devhelp: Devhelp is an API documentation browser for GTK+ and GNOME. It works natively with GTK-Doc (the API reference system developed for GTK+ and used throughout GNOME for API documentation).

DiaSCE: DiaSCE is a C/C++ code editor for GNOME. It pretends to be a complement to Glade, so it doesn't include an environment for GUI development. It has neither a debugger or other kind of tool to help debugging. The idea is for it to be a light code editor that doesn't need too many resources, and makes use of external tools (gcc, glade, ddd, etc.) for some tasks. This project was formerly known as 'david.'

Diakonos: Diakonos is a customizable, usable, console-based text editor. It features arbitrary language scripting, bookmarking, regular expression searching, parsed ("smart") indentation, macro recording and playback, a multi-element clipboard, multi-level undo, a customizable status line, completely customizable keyboard mapping, and customizable syntax highlighting.

Diction: This program includes both 'diction' and 'style'. '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.

Ding: Ding is a dictionary lookup program that uses the 'agrep' or 'egrep' tools for searching. It comes with a German-English Dictionary with ca. 120,000 entries. It is a Tk based Front-End to [ae]grep, ispell, or dict. 'Ding' can also search in English dictionaries using 'dict' and check spelling using 'ispell.' Configuration options include search preferences, interface language (English or German), and colors. The package includes history functions, help functions, and comes key and mouse bindings for quick and easy lookups. The package has three different search behaviors: o Search after typing in a new word (standard, as before) o Search for selected text when moving the mouse over the ding window o Search immediately on new text selection in another window

Diqt: Diqt is a WWW-based multilingual dictionary reference tool. That is, dictionaries of many languages can be searched using a web browser. Any language is available if you have its dictionary data. For example, you can search English-Japanese, English-German, English-French, and Japanese-English dictionaries at the same time.

Dismal: Dismal (Dis' Mode Ain't Lotus) is a major mode for GNU Emacs that implements a spreadsheet. It is designed to be keystroke driven rather than mouse/menu driven (although it can be menu driven), and it is extensible. Users can write their own commands and functions, for example, to allow a function cell to write to several nearby cells. A ruler can be put up that reflects the semantics of column names past the ones automatically provided as letters. Dismal has some useful functions that implement the keystroke level model of Card, Moran, and Newell. Dismal is now maintained within ELPA, https://elpa.gnu.org.

DocBook XSL Stylesheets: DocBook is an XML and SGML dialect that lets you author and store document content in a presentation-neutral form that captures the logical structure of the content. Using the modular DocBook stylesheets and related resources, you can transform, format, and publish your DocBook content as HTML pages and PDF files, and in many other formats, including TeX, RTF, JavaHelp, UNIX man pages, and TeXinfo. It is part of the DocBook Open Repository project.

DocFrac: 'DocFrac' is a tool that converts documents from RTF to HTML and from HTML to RTF. It is useful for bulk document conversion and dynamic Web pages. It does not require a word processor to work.

Docassemble: docassemble is a system for guided interviews and document assembly. It provides a web application that conducts interviews with users. After each interview, docassemble generates documents in various formats based on user input and preconfigured templates. Though the name emphasizes the document assembly feature, docassemble interviews do not need to assemble a document; they might submit an application, direct the user to other resources on the internet, store user input, interact with APIs, or simply provide the user with information. docassemble was created by a lawyer/computer programmer for purposes of automating the practice of law, but it is a general-purpose platform that can find applications in a variety of fields.

Docbook2X: 'docbook2X' converts DocBook documents to man pages and Texinfo

Doclifter: 'doclifter' is a tool that transcodes {n,t,g}roff documentation to DocBook XML markup. It parses man, mandoc, ms, me, or TkMan page sources, does structural analysis, and recognizes common troff-markup cliches. The result is usable without further hand-hacking about 95% of the time.

Docmenta

Approval workflow
Release-management
Translation support
Table of Contents and index generation
Image gallery
Listing support (line numbering, syntax highlighting)
Applicability filtering and more.

Docutils: Docutils is a text processing system for processing plaintext documentation into useful formats, such as HTML or LaTeX. It includes reStructuredText, the easy to read, easy to use, what-you-see-is-what-you-get plaintext markup language.

Docvert: Docvert takes word processor files (typically .doc) and converts them to OpenDocument and clean HTML. The resulting OpenDocument is then optionally converted to HTML or any XML. This is done with XML Pipelines, an approach that supports XSLT, breaking up content over headings or sections, and saving those results to multiple files (e.g., chapter1.html, chapter2.htmlÃ¢â¬Â¦). The result is returned in a .zip file.

Dot-mode: dot-mode is a minor mode for GNU Emacs that emulates the `.´ (redo) command in vi. It was written so that vi users no longer have an excuse for not switching to emacs…

Dot2Tex

The purpose of dot2tex is to give graphs generated by the graph layout tool Graphviz, a more LaTeX friendly look and feel. This is accomplished by:

Using native PSTricks and PGF/TikZ commands for drawing arrows, edges and nodes.
Typesetting labels with LaTeX, allowing mathematical notation.
Using backend specific styles to customize the output.
Dot2tex can also automatically adjust the size of nodes and edge labels to fit the output from LaTeX.

Dox: Dox is an extensible browser for manpages and HTML documentation. You can access documentation via tables of contents, keyword indices, and full text searches. The program has interfaces to pydoc and perldoc, and integration with Debian's docbase, and includes a utility that converts Doxygen-generated tafiles to keyword indices.

Doxia: Doxia is a content generation framework which aims to provide its users with powerful techniques for generating static and dynamic content. Doxia can be used to generate static sites in addition to being incorporated into dynamic content generation systems like blogs, wikis and content management systems. Doxia is used exensively by Maven and it powers the entire documentation system of Maven. It gives Maven the ability to take any document that Doxia supports and output it any format. It became a sub-project of Maven early in 2006.

Doxide: Doxide generates documentation for C++ source code. It is configured with YAML, generates Markdown, and publishes HTML. 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).

EF*CK Chat Keyboard: EF*CK is a free cross-platform open-source on-screen desktop emoji keyboard, with built-in text-filter-based emoji picker, Unicode text converter, meme GIF search function ... Upon emoji/text activation, the app automatically types it into the previously focused window, or copies it into system clipboard. Written in Python/Qt and extensible.

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.

Easymacs: 'Easymacs' is an easy-to-learn configuration for new users of GNU Emacs. 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.

Edictionary: 'edictionary' is a command line interface to online dictionaries

EditorConfig core: This package helps developers define and maintain consistent coding styles between different editors and IDEs. The EditorConfig project consists of a file format for defining coding styles and a collection of text editor plugins that enable editors to read the file format and adhere to defined styles. EditorConfig files are easily readable and they work nicely with version control systems. EditorConfig contains a few core libraries for different languages, e.g. C, Python, Java, JavaScript, and a set of editor/IDE plugins which use these library.

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.

Etherpad: Etherpad is a real-time collaborative editor. It lets you edit text in your browser, while other contributors see the changes instantly. It features basic formatting as well as an history.

Eyecite: Eyecite recognizes a wide variety of citations commonly appearing in American legal decisions.

Faq-O-Matic: The Faq-O-Matic is a CGI-based system that automates the process of maintaining a FAQ (or Frequently Asked Questions list). It allows visitors to your FAQ to take part in keeping it up-to-date. A permission system also makes it useful as a help-desk application, bug-tracking database, or documentation system.
