An alternative to LaTeX? Lout

Lout is a document formatting system designed and implemented by Jeffrey Kingston at the Basser Department of Computer Science, University of Sydney, Australia.

If you are interested in it also check out the project’s homepage @ sf.net.

Credits for the pointer goes to the faboulus Karl Voit, a friend of mine who is also an active contributor of the german-speaking project LaTeX@TUG.

For german-speaking people: check out the lout-thread in de.comp.text.tex. An interesting hint I found there is a pointer to ConTeXt.

    Well, but what for? LaTeX is superb and has a huge community. What is so bad that we would need an alternative?

    see http://www.michael-prokop.at/wishlist/ – but of course LaTeX works fine.

    I once used lout for some documentation at work, and wasn’t too pleased with it.
