Abstract

Abstract Lout is a high‐level language for document formatting, whose ease of use has permitted an unprecedented number of advanced features to be added quickly and reliably. This paper charts the evolution of the design and implementation of Lout from conception in mid‐1984 to public release in October 1991. It includes extensive discussions of remaining problems and possible solutions.
