Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
The current maintainer of lout is not with us anymore and cannot take care
of the package anymore. Therefore, I orphan this package now.
Maintaining a package requires time and skills. Please only adopt this
package if you will have enough time and attention to work on it.
If you want to be the new maintainer, please see
http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.
Some information about this package:
Typesetting system, an alternative to (La)TeX
Lout is a document formatting system similar in style to LaTeX, i.e.
it works with mark-up files - plain text files containing commands to
control the formatting.
Lout 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.
Lout may be extended by writing definitions which are much simpler than
the equivalent troff or TeX macros.
Lout has several advantages over (La)TeX. It is much smaller, and it is
much easier to understand how to do things in Lout (including writing
definitions) than in TeX or LaTeX. Lout's PostScript output is very small
and clean.
However, it is much less widely used than (La)TeX, so there are
fewer add-on definition packages for Lout than for (La)TeX and fewer
local experts around to ask about problems. You are unlikely to
find many Lout documents floating around the 'net.
