   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}.
