Document Preparation Systems

Hasse Hansson, J{/o}rgen Steensgaard-Madsen

AbstractThis paper gives an introduction to programs used to prepare the layout of a text for publication. It presents a suitable terminology, independent of any particular systems but in no way complete, for the description of documents. The basic characteristics of phototypesetting equipment are described. Finally, highlights of a particular system are given. Very little is said on the implementation of that system.
