Benjamin Durant Schoon · 1994
Flexible newspaper style templates are used to generate personalized PostScript newspaper layout. The program f ishpaper was designed to print personal newspapers for users of MIT's Athena-wide Freshman Fishwrap news project. f i shpaper relies on Fishwrap for news content filtering and organization. PostScript utilities and news objects in were used from the Newskit library. Style templates allow f ishpaper to print multicolumn page layouts which resemble modem newspapers. When expected types of news items (articles, graphics, or schedules) are not available, contingency plans are used to print alternative types of content.
