Lout

Lout is a batch text formatting system and an embedded

language by Jeffrey H. Kingston . 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} {macro}s 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}.
