+SILE is a typesetting system; its job is to produce beautiful printed
+documents. Conceptually, SILE is similar to TeX - from which it borrows
+some concepts and even syntax and algorithms - but the similarities end
+there. Rather than being a derivative of the TeX family SILE is a new
+typesetting and layout engine written from the ground up using modern
+technologies and borrowing some ideas from graphical systems such as
+InDesign.
