rivt is an extensisble, open source Python tool for writing, organizing and sharing engineering documents. It publishes rivt files (Python .py files) to formatted text, HTML or PDF document files (rivt docs) . A rivt report is a linked compilation of multiple rivt docs. This site is an example of an HTML rivt report.

An interface for finding public rivt files on GitHub is here. A collection of open source downloads, including rivt, is on Google Drive here .

For an overview of rivt interaction with AI see here.

rivt produces clear, organized engineering documents in standard layouts from multiple data sources. It is relatively lightweight software with simple syntax, consisting of about 5k lines of Python code and 3 dozen user commands and tags. If documents with higher production values and fine grained control over formatting are needed for journal or book publication, Quarto may be the better tool.
