How is this computed?
round(0.45*activity + 0.35*rhythm + 0.20*longevity); archived -> min(score, 10) — computed 2026-09-03. Adoption (stars, forks) is never an input.

Re:VIEW is a Ruby-based digital publishing system that converts its own lightweight markup format into EPUB, PDF (via LaTeX), InDesign XML, Markdown, plain text, and web pages. It provides a suite of CLI commands for creating, compiling, and maintaining book projects.
Use cases
- write a technical book and generate epub and pdf
- convert re:view markup files to latex pdf
- self-publish an ebook with epub output
- generate indesign xml for professional typesetting
- create web pages from book sources
- measure character and line counts of manuscript files
When to choose
- authoring technical books or manuals with code blocks and indexes
- needing multiple output formats (EPUB, PDF, InDesign) from one source
- Japanese-language publishing workflows, where Re:VIEW is widely used
When to avoid
- you need a WYSIWYG writing tool rather than markup-based workflow
- simple single-format HTML documentation where a static site generator suffices
- you are not comfortable installing LaTeX for PDF output
