EADUP

Educational Activity Document Utility for Publishing

Where content and compliance finally add up.

Content over appearance — automated typesetting designed for alignment with regulatory requirements (GOST and NArFU institutional standards)

Focus on the content of your work without wasting time on WYSIWYG editors. Implementing the "document as code" principle, EADUP takes care of creating a perfectly formatted document, eliminating routine formatting and automating adherence to regulatory standards.

Markup Language

Documents are created in .ead (Educational Activity Document) — a lightweight markup language designed specifically for the EADUP compiler.

Key Advantages:

• Human-readable: A plain text format that is easy to read and edit in any text editor without specialized software.
• Native-first Syntax: It is currently optimized for the Russian keyboard layout, minimizing the need for constant language switching when writing text and commands. Future updates will introduce a flexible architecture, allowing optimization for any language, enabling users to stay entirely within their native layout.

What’s in a name?

The name EADUP is a combination of the .ead extension and the -up suffix (as in markup). It also reflects the idea that when content and formatting are handled correctly, the result finally adds up to a compliant document.

Example

Create a file named document.ead and add the following content:
