+Lout - a document formatting system
+
+Lout is a document formatting system designed and implemented by
+Jeffrey Kingston at the Basser Department of Computer Science,
+University of Sydney, Australia. 
+
+The system reads a high-level description of a document similar in
+style to LaTeX and produces a PostScript file which can be printed
+on most laser printers and graphic display devices. A plain text
+output option is available, as is a highly experimental PDF output
+mode (users are encouraged to generate PostScript, then convert to
+PDF using GhostScript instead.) 
+
+Lout is inherently multilingual. Adding new languages is easy. The
+following languages are currently supported (in alphabetical order):
+Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hungarian,
+Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Slovenian, Spanish,
+Swedish.
+
+The Lout language, in which most document typesetting and layout
+tasks are implemented, is a purely functional language, which
+simplifies reasoning about the operations performed.
