GPP
GPP is a general-purpose preprocessor with customizable syntax, suitable for a wide range of preprocessing tasks. Its independence from any programming language makes it much more versatile than cpp, while its syntax is lighter and more flexible than that of m4. The syntax is fully customizable, which makes it possible to process text files, HTML, or source code equally efficiently in a variety of languages.

Recent commentsHow do you use GPP?
Greetings, GPP users.
I am currently working on a presentation on GPP which I may eventually publish online as a tutorial or introduction. As part of this project I would like to gather some data on what people use GPP for.
Do you use GPP to help manage a large website? Do you use it for a particular programming language which lacks a suitable preprocessor? Or perhaps you've discovered some novel and interesting use for GPP? Any way, I'd be interested in hearing about it. Please drop me a short note at psychonaut@nothingisreal.com with your background and experiences.
Thanks in advance for your time, and I hope GPP has been serving you well.
Regards,
Tristan
