skb – Tools for a repository of long-living documents

The pack­age pro­vides macros that help to build a doc­u­ment repos­i­tory for long liv­ing doc­u­ments. It fo­cuses on struc­ture and re-use of text, code, fig­ures etc. The ba­sic con­cept is first to sep­a­rate struc­ture from con­tent (i.e., text about a topic from the struc­ture it is pre­sented by) and then sep­a­rat­ing the con­tent from the ac­tual pub­lished doc­u­ment, thus en­abling easy re-use of text blocks in dif­fer­ent pub­li­ca­tions (i.e., text about a pro­to­col in a short ar­ti­cle about this pro­to­col as well as in a book about many pro­to­cols); all with­out con­stantly copy­ing or chang­ing text.
As a side ef­fect, us­ing the doc­u­ment classes pro­vided, it hides a lot of LaTeX from some­one who just wants to write ar­ti­cles and books.
