The Lout document formatting system reads a high-level description of a document similar in style to LaTeX and produces a PostScript or plain text output file.

Lout offers an unprecedented range of advanced features, including optimal paragraph and page breaking, automatic hyphenation, PostScript EPS file inclusion and generation, equation formatting, tables, diagrams, rotation and scaling, sorted indexes, bibliographic databases, running headers and odd-even pages, automatic cross referencing, multilingual documents including hyphenation (most European languages are supported), formatting of computer programs, and much more, all ready to use. Furthermore, Lout is easily extended with definitions which are very much easier to write than troff of TeX macros because Lout is a high-level, purely functional language, the outcome of an eight-year research project that went back to the beginning.
