Description: #
AutoGen is a tool designed to simplify the creation and maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text. It is especially valuable in programs that have several blocks of text that must be kept synchronized. AutoGen will accept either its own definition format, or XML files as definition input, in addition to CGI data (for producing dynamic HTML) and traditional AutoGen definitions. A common example where this would be useful is in creating and maintaining the code required for processing program options. Processing options requires multiple constructs to be maintained in parallel in different places in your program. Options maintenance needs to be done countless times. So, AutoGen comes with an add-on package named AutoOpts that simplifies the maintenance and documentation of program options.

add autogen   AutoGen is a tool designed for generating program files that
contain   repetitive text with varied substitutions. Its goal is to simplify the
  maintenance of programs that contain large amounts of repetitious text.   This
is especially valuable if there are several blocks of such text that   must be
kept synchronized.
