From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [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}.
