## What it is
XML sources and build tooling for Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP), generating JavaScript, Python, and Scheme editions as PDFs, e-books, and interactive web textbooks. It also produces JSON content, search data, and source archives consumed by the Source Academy frontend.

## Use cases
- read SICP in JavaScript online
- generate a PDF of SICP JS
- adapt SICP to another programming language
- host an interactive version of a textbook
- export SICP as markdown for LLM consumption
- compare Scheme and JavaScript editions side by side

## When to choose
- you want to study or teach SICP with JavaScript or Python instead of Scheme
- you need buildable multi-format editions (PDF, e-book, interactive web) of a textbook
- you want structured JSON textbook content for a custom frontend or chatbot

## When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose static site generator
- you want a modern JavaScript curriculum rather than the classic SICP text
- you need a runnable code sandbox - that lives in other Source Academy repos
