Emacs Muse is an authoring and publishing environment for Emacs. It simplifies the process of writings documents and publishing them to various output formats. Muse uses a very simple Wiki-like format as input.
Muse consists of two main parts: an enhanced text-mode for authoring documents and navigating within Muse projects, and a set of publishing styles for generating different kinds of output.
muse-wiki module, it is easy to make hyperlinks
between projects.muse-import-latex.el module.Muse is developed using git. Visit the Emacs Wiki: Muse Development page for instructions on how to obtain the latest development version of Muse.
The latest development version may also be downloaded as a .tar.gz file or a .zip file.
Stable releases are available at the muse-el GNA project download area.
Debian and Ubuntu packages for Muse are available. The package is
named muse-el. See the Debian Packages page for instructions on using
my custom Debian and Ubuntu package repositories.
A QuickStart quide has been written for Muse using Muse markup. It teaches Muse by example, and is available under the terms of the GNU GPL. It is available in the following languages.

The Muse codebase is a departure from Emacs Wiki Mode version 2.44. The
code has been restructured and rewritten, especially its publishing
functions. The focus in this revision is on the authoring and
publishing aspects, and the "wikiness" has been removed as a default
behavior (available in the optional muse-wiki module). CamelCase
words are no longer special by default. Use the muse-wiki module if
you want CamelCase words and interwiki links.
Feel free to let me know of any other software that is based on Muse. Muse aims to be a good backend for Emacs Lisp hackery.

John Wiegley started Muse upon realizing that Emacs Wiki Mode had some serious limitations. Around February 2004, he started making "emacs-wiki version 3.00 ALPHA", which eventually became known as Emacs Muse.
Around 2004-12-01, I became the maintainer of Muse, as per John Wiegley's request.
Muse 3.01 was released on Wed, 2005-06-22, which was the first non-alpha release of Muse.
Muse 3.02 was released on 2005-09-16. This was the first version to have CamelCase and interwiki support.
Muse 3.03 was released on 2007-06-17. This version featured support for nested lists, table.el-style tables, orgtbl-mode style tables, and whole-document escaping of special characters.
Muse 3.10 was released on 2007-08-16. This was the first version to
use git for version control, rather than GNU Arch.
muse-list-edit-minor-mode was added. Support for the ConTeXt
publishing format was provided.
Muse 3.11 was released on 2007-08-24. It featured support for serving published Muse files with Blosxom. addressed a number of compatibility issues with Emacs21 and XEmacs, and featured plenty of bugfixes.
Muse 3.12 was released on 2008-01-28. It primarily focused on bugfixes.
Muse now has a file called etc/IDEAS.muse that mentions the new things
that might get implemented in future releases.
Muse is going to move into a faster release schedule, with more major releases, and less radical changes between releases, for the most part.
