  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  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}.
