[[Wikipublisher]] works by creating an intermediate output in xml that conforms to the WikibookDTD, which is then typeset into a form suitable for printing. The project integrates components from a number of other open source projects; in particular:
* it provides a plug-in for the [[PmWiki -> http://www.pmwiki.org/]] wiki engine, to generate output in wikibook xml instead of xhtml; plug-ins for other content management systems are planned, subject to funding
* it extends the [['''t'''book system -> http://tbookdtd.sourceforge.net/]] for xml authoring, adding support for a wider range of content markup and presentation options
