It +offers a very full range of features, including PostScript, PDF, and +plain text output, optimal paragraph and page breaking, automatic +hyphenation, PostScript EPS file inclusion and generation, equation +formatting, tables, diagrams, rotation and scaling, sorted indexes, +bibliographic databases, running headers and odd-even pages, automatic +cross referencing, multilingual documents including hyphenation (most +European languages are supported, including Russian), formatting of +C/C++ programs, and more. Lout may be extended by writing definitions +which are much simpler than the equivalent troff of TeX macros. + +Lout is written in highly portable ANSI C and runs on most platforms. +It is distributed under the GNU public license. Its primary web site is + + ftp://ftp.cs.usyd.edu.au/jeff/lout/ + +Consult the README file in that directory for information about the +latest version. + +Lout was designed and implemented by Jeffrey H. Kingston (jeff@cs.usyd.edu.au) +of the Basser Department of Computer Science at the University of Sydney. |
