Ground-breaking text-formatting language. Reason for Reid getting a Hopper Medal in 1982. From the manual: To use Scribe, you prepare a manuscript file using a text editor. You process this manuscript file through Scribe to generate a document file, which you then print on some convenient printing machine to get paper copy. Scribe controls the words, lines, pages, spacing, headings, footings, footnotes, numbering, tables of contents, indexes and more. It has a data base full of document format definitions, which tell it the rules for formatting a document in a particular style. Under normal circumstances, writers need not concern themselves with the details of formatting, because Scribe does it for them. The manuscript document an author creates has markup statements throughout. These statements describe the various components of the document to the Scribe processor. The descriptive markup the author places in the document is interpreted and formatted by the Scribe document processor. Related languages
