Synopsis

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Lout is a batch document formatter invented by Jeffrey H. Kingston. It reads a high-level description of a document similar in style to LaTeX and produces a PostScript file which can be printed on most printers. Plain text and PDF output are also available. The term Lout primarily designates a document formatting programming language, while the implementation of the language is sometimes referred to as Basser Lout. Basser Lout is free software, distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Lout copies some of its formatting algorithms from TeX but is intended to be much easier to program due to the use of high-level functional programming language, instead of a macro language.
