T E X is an ASCII text-based markup language.In a scheme of automated document preparation T E X provides the foundation.The idea is for programs to do the work of 1) generating the T E X code for documents, 2) running T E X on these documents, and 3) post-processing the resulting .dvifiles to obtain the finished documents.Resulting PostScript documents may be further post-processed to produce files that exploit the output capabilities of various printers.Discussed herein are the techniques and benefits of such a scheme and how scripting languages (those languages outside the traditional edit/compile/link/run cycle) can make the whole process fun and easy.
