Hello!

My name is Oleg. Glad to meet you on my homepage.

I'm an open-source and freelance developer in the area of technical documentation and XML-to-PDF publishing with TeX. My main research interests are XML technologies and generative programming.

Featured projects

Web:

• bbAntiSpam Advanced Textual Confirmation stops web spam using question-answer captcha.
• Online syntax highlighting at tohtml.com.
• InPlace CMS for static pages.

Publishing:

• TeXML is an XML syntax for TeX. A processor translates TeXML source into TeX, escaping special and out-of-encoding characters.
• GeWoVa makes technical data appear in Microsoft Word.

Different works

I have no free time, so I can't publish all my works. Many of them are internal projects, just for fun, and not listed here. For more projects and code samples, visit: blog, SourceForge repository or GitHub repository.

Consodoc

A publishing system converts XML to beautiful documents. Plus psnup2, a better psnup.

XSieve

XSieve is an XML transformation language based on combination of XSLT 1.0 and a Lisp dialect Scheme. XSieve is an alternative to XSLT 2.0.

find with XPath over file system

The standard UNIX utility find now supports XPath.

sTeXme = TeX + Scheme

The TeX extension “sTeXme” allows to manipulate TeX internals using the Scheme programming language.

Lazy pairs for Guile

Lazy car and cdr for the Scheme list representation of C tree-like structures.

Pysch

Scheme runtime environment in Python.

Python GUI wrapper for a long operation

A complete Python Tkinter application demonstrates one of the ways to implement a good GUI wrapper for a long operation: with a progress bar, log messages, cancelling.

XmlConnect.

Transfer your XML data between applications using simple plain-text notation.

Perl-XML.

XML and Perl. Russian encoding pack for XML::Parser. Filtering SAX events: include functionality and 8bit DOM instead of UTF8. Module for more productive use of XML::DOM.

Rusconv (in Russian).

Converter of Russian codepages version 3.11, freeware, with sources. Rusconv is an alternative to iconv and recode for regular mass-converting.
