| <h2>Maven Doxia</h2> |
| <p>Doxia is a content generation framework which aims to provide its users with powerful |
| techniques for generating static and dynamic content: Doxia can be used in web-based |
| publishing context to generate static sites, in addition to being incorporated into |
| dynamic content generation systems like blogs, wikis and content management systems.</p> |
| <p>Doxia supports markup languages with simple syntaxes. Lightweight markup languages are |
| used by people who might be expected to read the document source as well as the rendered |
| output.</p> |
| <p>Doxia is used extensively by Maven and it powers the entire documentation system of |
| Maven. It gives Maven the ability to take any document that Doxia supports and output it |
| any format.</p> |
