.. _index: .. Kiln documentation master file, created by sphinx-quickstart on Tue Jul 24 21:20:29 2012. You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least contain the root `toctree` directive. Kiln documentation ================== Kiln is an open source multi-platform framework for building and deploying complex websites whose source content is primarily in XML. It brings together various independent software components, with `Apache Cocoon`_ at their centre, into an integrated whole that provides the infrastructure and base functionality for such sites. Kiln is developed and maintained by a team at the `Department of Digital Humanities`_ (DDH), King’s College London. Over the past years and versions, Kiln (formerly called `xMod`_) has been used to generate more than 50 websites which have very different source materials and customised functionality. Since DDH has in-house guidelines for using `TEI P5`_ to create websites, Kiln makes use of certain TEI markup conventions. However, it has been adapted to work on a variety of flavours of TEI and other XML vocabularies, and has been used to publish data held in relational databases. Further reading --------------- `Apache Cocoon`_ is at the core of Kiln, please consult its `documentation`_ for more detailed information on how to configure its components. Requirements ------------ Java 1.5+ is required to run the Kiln webapps. In order to use the built-in `Jetty`_ web server (for local, development use only), Java 1.7 is required. Support ------- See our `issue tracker`_\. Tutorial -------- Kiln comes with a :ref:`tutorial ` that covers using the main components of Kiln, and is recommended for new users.
