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}. {Author's site (ftp://ftp.cs.su.oz.au/jeff/lout.2.03.tar.Z)}, {(ftp://ftp.uu.net/tmp/lout.tar.Z)}. {Amiga (ftp://ftp.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/text/dtp/loutBin203.lha)}.
