Jessub

Jessub generates MaxL scripts based on templates with placeholders for dynamic values that can be filled in with values from the current date, relative date, or elsewhere. It can be a convenient way to update substitution variables without the pain of writing your own logic for what happens when you need to wrap a year or month or day of week or whatever else.

It hasn’t been maintained since its 1.0.0 release in December 2011, and it’s kept here as a historical record. The original announcement describes how to use it. Licensed under the Apache Software License version 2.

Jessub was originally hosted on Google Code, which closed in 2016. Its archive still has the project’s commit history.
