Introduction 6 content index commands macros Introduction 1.1 T E X T E X was developed at the Stanford University during the seventies. The designer, developer and spiritual father of T E X is Donald E. Knuth. Knuth developed T E X to typeset his own publications and to give an example of a systematically developed and annotated program. The T E X project was supported by the American Mathematical Society and resulted in the programming language and program T E X, the programming language and program METAFONT, the Computer Modern typefaces and a number of tools and publications. 1 T E X is used worldwide, supports many languages, runs on almost every platform and is stable since 1982, which is rather unique in today’s information technology. T E X is a batch--oriented typesetting system. This means that the complete text is processed from beginning to end during which typesetting commands are interpreted. Because you tell your typesetting intentions to T E X, the system can also be qualified as an intentional typesetting system. In most documents one can stick to commands that define the structure and leave the typographic details to ConT E Xt. One can concentrate on the content, instead of on makeup; the author can concentrate on his reader and his intentions with the text. In this respect one can classify ConT E Xt as an intentional system. We prefer such a system over a page--oriented system, especially in situations where you have to process bulky documents of with regularly changing content. Furthermore an intentional typesetting system is rather flexible and makes it possible to change layout properties depending on its application. It can also cooperate quite well with other text--processing programs and tools. 1.1 T E X 6 1.2 CONT E XT 6 1.3 Commands 7 1.4 Programs 11 1.5 Files 11 1.6 Texts 12 1.7 Version numbers 13 1.8 Top ten 14 1.9 Warning 14 1.2 CONT E XT The development of ConT E Xt was started in 1990. A number of T E X based macropackages had been used to our satisfaction. However, the non--technical users at our company were not accustomed to rather complex and non--Dutch interfaces. For this reason we initiated the development of ConT E Xt with a parameter driven interface and commands that are easy to understand. Initially the user interface was only available in Dutch. The functionality of ConT E Xt was developed during the production of a great number of complex educational materials and workplace manuals and handbooks. In 1994 the package search go back exit T E X — ConT E Xt 1
