b-ber is an authoring environment application suite that generates an array of formats—ePubs, Mobis, PDFs, websites, and more—from canonical source documents written in Markdown and custom syntax developed by Triple Canopy.

b-ber uses markdown-it extensions (based on the EPUB 3 Structural Semantics Vocabulary) that describe intent that can be understood by a wide array of actors: writers, editors, designers, technologists, and machines. Working with a standards-compliant output reduces overhead in converting between formats and simplifies the process of tagging content with metadata, as well as improving a publication's searchability and its archivability.

b-ber can be run on a personal computer or on a server. This user manual was written for both beginners who would like to author projects, as well as developers who like to contribute to the project. In addition, the repository includes further documentation and the code is heavily commented.
