Lout
Lout is a batch text formatting system and an embedded language by Jeffrey H. Kingston <
[email protected]>.
The language is procedural, with
Scribe-like
syntax.
Lout features equation formatting, tables, diagrams, rotation and scaling, sorted indexes, bibliographic databases, running headers and odd-even pages and automatic cross-referencing. Lout is easily extended with definitions which are very much easier to write than
troff of
TeX macros because Lout is a
high-level language, the outcome of an eight-year research project that went back to the beginning.
Version 2.05 includes a translator from Lout to
PostScript and documentation. and runs under
Unix and on the
Amiga.
